A new build (r-base_2.9.2-2ubuntu1~ppa4_source.changes) just went to the PPA,
sole change was to re-enable the current Debian Policy / Karmic changes for
the libreadline-dev switch and the versioned dpkg Depends to rely on triggers.

Source upload, so no .deb packages here and no debdiff to attach. Sorry.

Scott R and Scott K:  
      If you could do you two-step once more 2.9.2-2ubuntu1~ppa4 then we
      we should be in great shape.
