But in this case, we will build some package with a non clean fresh build system.
Which I will not recommend, for clean dependency resolution.
I will not commit yet, and scratch my head a bit harder to support
pbuilder and sudo, then.

For the Love'n'Hate conflict, I am really thinking in forking cran2deb to a
new build system, with a try to a more clean program, building cran, bioc, 
omegahat in one row. Our system is working, but not nicely enought in my 
point of view. suggestions ? (and this is not a *TROLL*!thx)
