I'd argue that this is a bad idea, because it relies on the copy
present in the package being definitive, instead of using what is
actually installed. [Not to mention this sort of duplication requiring
extra effort on the part of the maintainer to keep things in sync...]
The patch to do this is exceedingly trivial, except for one minor
problem:
include_dirs = ['/usr/lib/R/include',
'src' ]
The minor problem is that r-base-core does not distribute Startup.h
for some reason. [Why the headers are in r-base-core instead of
r-base-dev, I've no idea... but I suppose there's a good reason.]
To that end, I've cloned a wishlist bug on r-base-core asking for
Startup.h to be distributed. I've attached the patch, but it won't fix
the current "issue" until r-base-core implements this change. [I
suppose you could just distribute Startup.h in the package... but that
seems kind of suboptimal.]
