Why? The binaries we offer via CRAN are _excellent_. I maintain the underlying Debian source and use them myself on several machines, and have for years.

The rest below looks fine. Your problem is a different one, somehow. But as I said, why not do what I a bazillion other people do and just use the binary? Otherwise, you can see my (Debian) builds files here https://salsa.debian.org/edd/r-base/tree/master/debian/rules https://salsa.debian.org/edd/r-base/tree/master/debian/control and they should carry over easily to 18.04, and with possible adjustments to 16.04, 14.04 and others. I don't think Michael's sources are in git though (hint, hint, ...)
