| Hi Dirk,

| There is already a package named r-cran-gsl in Debian.

Sorry, it it something else. I was wrong in my ITP title by not my package:

   Source: r-cran-rcppgsl
   [...]
   
   Package: r-cran-rcppgsl

I packaged this upstream package (of mine):
  https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppGSL/index.html
It mostly offers GSL vector and matrix interfaces, not the whole of GSL or
special functions.

What you found, however, is that I _incorrectly_ labeled my ITP as r-cran-gsl
which would be this package:
  https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/gsl/index.html
This one offers special functions etc -- but they are not the same.

Can you revert the four commands above? I may not be as handy with the bug tracker.

"My" new package should then still come out of NEW.

Makes sense?

Dirk
