yes, thanks -- it compiles and a hardy-package for CRAN R is ready :-)

if that cannot be automated it won't save much work for other than official 
ubuntu installations. i must admit i didn't search too hard, because i have a 
painless workflow now, which is actually quite similar: i create a source 
package, upload it to my repo and build binary packages from that on each 
virtualized target system (that is done almost automatically by some scripts, 
including uploading everything to the repo when finished).

for me it makes no difference at the moment for what installation i build. so 
it seemed like doubling my work if i had to split it into two different 
workflows. but i would appreciate if someone would supported my efforts 
somehow, be it with launchpad builds or anything else. with the release of 
10.04 some things have to change ;-)

what i mean is: if we can build for CRAN R as well as for the official 
installation, i could move completely from my repo to launchpad. if CRAN 
cannot be supported, i can still take care of debianising for ubuntu releases 
as i do anyway, but only build for and host CRAN R releases and leave the 
other flavors to launchpad, if anyone else would feel responsible there.

looks nice. without the CRAN repo it will only work for anything after 8.04, 
though: the hardy builds failed because R is too old.

i'll have a look at it soon.
