--- Begin Message ---Package: r-base Version: 2.14.0-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Debian folks, wanting to use `rbenchmark` which is a lot of times mentioned in the posts of Dirk’s blog [1] what is the recommended way. Could that be documented please? That would be quite useful. At least for me. The description of the package already states the following. Additionally, over thousand extension "packages" are available from CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages, named 'r-cran-<name>'. Would the following addition be useful? If they are not you have to manually install them using `install.packages()`. Adding that to `README.Debian` would also be helpful in my opinion. The main question then is though, what happens if that manually installed packages suddently is packaged for Debian?

That's an open issue which has been discussed many times on the r-sig-debian list (== R Special Interest Group mailing list for 'R use on Debian / Ubuntu') which is the best place for your question. The list is hosted at ETH Zuerich just like the other R lists; you need to subscribe to post (or use Gmane or Nabble). Not really a bug, so closing this. Adding / changing README.Debian is not a bad idea but what you suggest is a little too basic.
