Cool. I *never* ever create debian/compat file, but I delete them on
occassion. I still do not understand how it could have been 'here' (where I
build package) but not 'there' (where I build on pelosi, based on a diff.gz
dating back to 'here'). Strange.

Understood. So let me make it "Debian R" Policy via an entry in
/usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk --- the cdbs stanza these 50-ish packages
all source.
What value should I set? Or should I let cdbs set it?
Thanks as always, Dirk
