This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'RODBC' to 'r-cran-rodbc' to highlight the fact that is it a CRAN package for R, and to match Debian's convention of lowercase package names.
