-One of the key data structures using by cran2deb is commonly called 'pkg'.
-It is constructed in R/getrpkg.R by prepare_pkg. prepare_pkg obtains
-an R package and converts the source package into something suitable for use
-with Debian.
-
-If a particular upstream version has already been used to create a Debian
-package, then the source tarball of that upstream version is expected to be
-available locally, and is used for building. In this case no conversion is
-performed, so the archive does not change. In future it may be desirable to
-obtain the source tarball from some central archive but this is not done at the
-moment.
-
-download_pkg in R/getrpkg.R obtains the tarball (archive) of the R package, either
-from the previous Debian build, or from the R archive. The field pkg$need_repack
-indicates if the obtained archive must be repacked into a form acceptable
-as a Debian source archive. This repacking, if necessary, is performed by
-repack_pkg in R/getrpkg.R
-
-
-Most of the creation of pkg is done by R/getrpkg.R. However some more build
-specific operations (such as determining the new build version pkg$debversion)
-are performed by R/debianpkg.R.
