There are maybe two hundred r-cran-* packages. Did you look at their sources? [ Hint: it is pretty mechanic as 'R CMD INSTALL' is well standardized. ] Did you look at the Debian packaging documentation? It would probably be a good exercise for you to try to create your own r-cran-forecast package. Anyway, all this is probably off-topic for r-devel. Consider the r-sig-debian list, or one of the Debian lists.
