Sure, got uploaded the day of the 1.8 release. You may want to learn how to
point apt at different archives. Debian has 1.8 in unstable; CRAN has it in
testing (thanks to Doug Bates) and even in stable (thanks to Korbinian
Strimmer)

This general question about where to get Debian packages is also answered in
the FAQ with the relevant info about how to connect apt to the CRAN archives.
