Sure, but that wasn't the question. The question was about rpy (v1) now becoming 'unbuildable' as R 2.8.0, out as of this morning, dramatically reduced the number of exported header files. We may have to modify the rpy (v1) source distribution to bring whatever is needed in from the R headers --- and carefully test that it still works. If we don't do that, rpy in Debian turns into 'fails to build from source' and disappears from Debian and then Ubuntu. That is likely to break some code too.
