| It now looks like:
| 
| mcmcpack (0.6.4-0.r2d.1) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * mechanically generated using cran2deb.pl 1.13 and CRAN2DEB.pm 1.5

Looks good. 

But if may ask one innocent question: Why again do we need?  I mean, the way
I see it, these packages are probably not going to be part of Debian, and
will be simple binary compilations -- without changes on our part -- of the
source CRAN packages.  So if we don't make changes, do we need a changelog?
