Thanks to Jose script and a wrapper to do the download, I could package
the modules, and it turned out that the R packages have a lot of 
interdependencies, sometimes interdependencies which seem wrong.

If somebody wants to package some of them here are all those were
needed (or with inter-dependencies to check):

mFilter
pastecs locfit tseriesChaos RTisean tsDyn odesolve chron zoo its 
tseries strucchange DAAG leaps oz sandwich car lmtest Ecdat e1071
mlbench randomForest SparseM xtable scatterplot3d dynlm systemfit sem
fCalendar fEcofin Hmisc acepack Design tkrplot TeachingDemos maptools
spatstat PBSmapping maps gpclib RArcInfo sp RColorBrewer sm deldir
akima gam mapproj rgl qcc sgeostat 


Here is the list of the package which have inter-dependencies. the arrow
points to the one the other should depend on in my opinion:

mlbench <- e1071
Ecdat <- lmtest sandwich
dynlm -> lmtest sandwich
lmtest - sandwich
sandwich <- strucchange lmtest dynlm
strucchange -> zoo
sandwich -> zoo
zoo <- tseries
PBSmapping -> maptools
maps <- mapproj 
Hmisc <- Design

There are some license issues:
