Builds are fully automated; the file debian/control lists in Build-Depends:
exactly which packages are needed. Now, we are usually concerned with
getting _current_ versions right. For R 3.3.2 we currently have
Build-Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.1.0), g++ (>= 4:4.1.0), gfortran (>=
4:4.1.0), libblas-dev, liblapack-dev (>= 3.1.1), tcl8.6-dev, tk8.6-dev,
bison, groff-base, libncurses5-dev, libreadline-dev, debhelper (>= 7.2.3),
texinfo (>= 4.1-2), libbz2-dev, liblzma-dev, libpcre3-dev,
libcurl4-openssl-dev | libcurl4-dev, xdg-utils, zlib1g-dev, libpng-dev,
libjpeg-dev, libx11-dev, libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev, libpango1.0-dev,
libcairo2-dev, libtiff5-dev, xvfb, xauth, xfonts-base, texlive-base,
texlive-latex-base, texlive-generic-recommended,
texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-fonts-extra, texlive-extra-utils,
texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, default-jdk [!arm !hppa
!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386], mpack, bash-completion
but some of these things are moving targets as packages are renamed or
reorganised. Start from there.
