I actually had a similar issue on a machine of mine and solved it the same way. I will look at this again when I start preparing R 2.11 pre-releases in the next few days. I disabled this in Sep 2009 as Debian Policy now discourages these files. But it breaks uses such as RPy or my own Rcpp and littler. I may need to work on getting an exception for this.
