Yes.

The ReadMe at CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.8 (for R-1.8.x) tells us:

'Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass
"Rcmd check" with "OK" or at least a "WARNING" will *not* be
published. This "Status", i.e. result of "Rcmd check", is listed in
file "Status". Possible values are "OK", "WARN", and "ERROR".
Corresponding check.log files can be found in subdirectory ./check.'

And you'll find that both packages produce errors:

For Hmisc:

* checking Hmisc-manual.tex ... ERROR
LaTeX errors when creating DVI version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.


And therefore Design has:

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Packages required but not available:
   Hmisc


Frank E Harrell (in CC), the maintainer of those packages, might want to 
fix it the problem.
Frank, does Hmisc pass make check on another OS? Can you fix it (easily)?
