I don't use R or Ubuntu. But I wonder if counting the number of packages is actually reflective of the level of support. Is there a one-to-one correspondence between deb and rpm packages and the distributions? I count 140 rpm's (R-*) packages on Fedora. This excludes the devel packages. How many more does Ubuntu have and what functionality do they provide that is missing from Fedora? With that info, I would think one could write a BZ against R requesting the missing pieces. Probably would get a better, more definitive answer that way. -- A motto of mine is: When in doubt, try it out
