Option to add list of apt dependencies?

[zkamvar]

I just discovered this and it looks like it could be really good for automated dockerization of R packages. One thing that's missing, however is a way to include C libraries (e.g. libcurl) that are required for R packages that bundle C.

I know it's possible to create a base image with these installed, but it would be good to have a sort of skeleton that could take a list of C libraries (e.g. generated from pak::pkg_sysreqs()) and insert them into the correct docker incantation and teardown.

hi @zkamvar ! thanks for that great suggestion. i agree that could be useful.

just a heads up that there may be a bit of a delay working on this. but i really like this idea, and i am tracking.
