I have packaged the Ra extension for just-in-time compilation to GNU R (see ITP #479233 for details). It comes as a tarball to be installed on top of the GNU R sources.
So I created a new hybird tarball of the two sources. Not elegant as it creates a 16mb tarball containing a copy of GNU R's 16mb tarball when we'd just need the 372kb of 'new' Ra files. As an alternative, could I just start from Ra source, and then in debian/rules obtain r-base's orig.tar.gz, untar it and then apply the Ra sources to it? Or is that too fragile? Comments, anyone?
