+5. manual change - allow cran2deb user to execute pdebuild as root via sudo
+ c2d ALL=(ALL) SETENV: NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pdebuild
+ The "SETENV:" is important.
+
+6. run: cran2deb update
+ This will also create the pbuilder environment if not already existing.
+
+7. manual changes - create a gpg key for your packages
+ gpg --genkey
+ and read through 'man gpg-agent' to set it up. Add that key to the
+ pbuilder environment so the packages you signed and uploaded are
+ indeed acceptable to the distribution.
+
+ pbuilder --login \
+ --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/base-cran2deb-debian-amd64.tgz \
+ --save-after-login
+
+ Once logged in, in a separate shell perform as cran2deb user a
+
+ gpg --export -a
+
+ which should only be one (your) public key. Copy it with the mouse and
+ add it to your pbuilder login shell via
+
+ apt-key add -
+
+ (return) to expect the key from stdin. Paste it, press CTRL-D to end
+ the input. Another CTRL-D or 'exit' to leave the shell and have the
+ base.tgz updated.
+
+ Also, you should allow the arch-independent R packages to be retrieved
+ from the public cran2deb effort. This also requires that key to be
+ available. From a local shell copy again that key
+
+ gpg --recv-key BFAEA5C2
+ gpg --export -a BFAEA5C2
+
+ and use 'apt-key add -' as before.

+8. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo
