Thanks to Maëlle for getting me fixed up with r-hub, which is looking quite slick.
I debugged the problem and it comes down to the R tinytex package not playing nicely with Debian’s texlive installation. I think the answer is just to turn off all relevant tests on CRAN. It’s reasonable for them to use texlive, and reasonable for Yihui to not want to support it; meanwhile Travis etc still run the tests. Thanks for your help, everyone!
