It would work if Ubuntu and Debian were binary-compatible. Unfortunately
they are not (blame Ubuntu). So they may or may not work.
Also those instruction should work on Debian testing as that's the only
supported distro with cran2deb not Debian stable or Ubuntu.

where the implication (am I reading incorrectly?) is that Ubuntu and
Debian would both "work". Truthfully, it does not surprise me at all
that they don't. I was playing devil's advocate and taking things at
face value.
Also note that my errors were generated in debian stable. I thought of
using testing, but figure the people I advise (in government) will not
use a rapidly changing version. It's a stretch to get them off that
other OS. I'll try Karmic, which has been stated to "work".
