C'mon, you really a co-maintainer in the sense of your work for the
CRAN-distributed .deb packages of R.

their names imply. You may question the idea to copy R.css is these directories 
in the first place, but not the fact that the package manager does not touch 
the files. It'd be wrong to fiddle with local additions.

I guess they have a good reason.

I second this so maybe this bug report ought to be closed.

Kingsley, what do you think?
