R_LIBS_USER on Ubuntu 16.04
Users without privileges to fix this themselves can add the following
(verbatim) to their ~/.Renviron:
R_LIBS_USER=~/R/%p-library/%v
No need to update when R is updated. For details on the above format,
see help(".libPaths").

i) Wrong venue. Discussion of this should be on r-sig-debian.
ii) On purpose. I have explained the rationale there (ie r-sig-debian) as
well as this Debian bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/866768
iii) Easiest fix: Remove _one_ character, the '#' on line 43 of file
/etc/R/Renviron
iv) "Correct" fix is the determine a use policy for directory
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library -- at work several of us are in a shared
group and you can use 'staff' or 'adm'. On my laptop I just give the
directory my own group.
