I'd rather not go there with the approximately 50 R related packages. Too
many interdependencies.

Having had luck with something else on hppa, I asked debian-admin for the
Build-Depends and quickly built it on hppa ... only to have the build
rejected and the autobuild you requested now succeeded. So I would think
r-base will be in testing before long, and this whole de-facto-non-issue can
be put to rest.
Thanks for your help with hppa!
Dirk
