| Yes - I would have to make the packages compatible to their policy and

I see -- as backports.org is not 'officially' Debian I was hoping that it may
have a more lenient upload policy. Guess we'll make do with CRAN then. Could
you make sure the README reflects your package ports too?

Thanks again, Dirk
