While I really like the cran2deb effort we are missing IMHO one feature of the Blends scope: We have less chances to direct users of the field Psychology to this package. Well, the Blends tools are flexible enough to show the package as "Inofficial Debian Package" and it will be listed in the Suggests of med-psychology which leads to good chances for the user to get the package if he is using the apropriate sources.list entry to cran2deb. So from a technical perspective it is not that bad. But we will probably loose the Debian Med internal knowledge about this project. That was implyed in my initial mail where I was asking about the status of this package and a possible replacement. Perhaps it is not even a good idea to Suggest this package any more and we should drop it at all because it is outdated and replaced by r-cran-psych? Regarding the mapower to polish the package technically I do not see a real bottleneck because it is quite simple (thanks to Dirks perfect build stuff). But I care about the context of the package.
