I see.

It would be good if you could get some help, ideally from someone on
arm. Maybe you could contact the testers/porters? That doesn't always
help. Ideally we would also get help from R Core but I don't know how much
arm access they have.  "In theory" I should be able to get access to a Debian
arm box but I am a little constrained too (just like everybody else :-/)
