Another update that is needed: We have r-cran-gregmisc, but that has been
split upstream into "new" packages gdata, gplots. gmodels, gtools -- which we
need to ignore too.

Is someone keeping tabs on the needed updates for cran2deb ?

Similarly, matchit is already the package r-other-gking-matchit maintained by
Chris Lawrence.  I guess that makes it a bug for Chris who should rename the
package if it is now on CRAN. CCing Chris... Hey Chris, do you want to join
pkg-bioc on Alioth, our 'automating deb creation from CRAN and Bioc' effort?
