That would be awesome. Mahout does have quite a few dependencies which
might make it an interesting packaging exercise. I am not sure whether
all of them are available in Debian already. At least Hadoop should be
available in Debian testing, but did not yet make it to the latest
stable release.
It may take a while since I am just starting to get accustomed to R.
If anyone here wants to package it before I get a chance, I'll more than
happy to sponsor you. (in order to get a package in Debian you have to
be developer/maintainer or have a sponsor)
-r.
