Horizontal Boxplot

That is a pretty old version. Debian packages for the latest version are
available from CRAN and its mirrors.

Actually we are still waiting for someone to volunteer to compile the
R-1.4.1 packages for potato (i.e. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2).  Dirk
Eddelbuettel <edd at debian.org> created packages for R-1.4.1 and
compiled them for for woody (3.0 testing) but he doesn't have access
to a system running 2.2

Yes. 

This boils down to the following: Debian uses a set of tools to build its
packages. All my 40 or so packages use the current tools from Debian
testing/unstable --- which are however not backwards compatible with their
older sibblings from Debian stable.  We would therefore need a minor rewrite
of debian/rules and debian/control, as wellas a machine with Debian stable
plus the usual tools, compilers, libraries (incl -dev),.... That way, we
could provide at least the r-base, r-recommended and probably r-doc-*
packages for Debian stable.

I would be more than happy to help with the rewrite of the debian/* files if
someone else would then be willing to compile Debian stable packages going
forward.  I'd be more than happy to discuss this further in private mail.
