Yes, _every_ program gets configured for prefix=/usr and then installed into
a local build temp. or a chroot build temp. or.  Every package does.  And for
r-base-core, it is of course the same for /usr/bin/R etc pp

It's only when you have a change in upstream's use of configure that this
breaks.  And as I showed, 2.6.2 doesn't have it. I think 2.5.0 was broken the
same way.

You can always do 'apt-get install littler' which gets you the (faster,
lighter) 'r' binary that Rscript was influenced by.
