That's what I am after.

Thinking we can maybe do another iteration. (The fourth?) Generalize for
Debian and Ubuntu etc pp.  There is really only one CRAN source tree after

We would not need that.  Either we set up a pbuilder (at least to get going)
or we go to Don's mastery of the full Debian kahona.

Exactly.

Traveling this weekend to St Louis to see daughter #1 kick some club soccer
ball for WashU, but may have some cycles next week.
