Try

$ apt-get -t unstable install r-cran-mgcv

as mgcv is (obviously, given its 'recommend' status) one of the CRAN
packages in Debian itself.  Not sure why your built failed, though.  Ours
seem to work, witness the autobuilder logs at

	http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=mgcv

r-cran-mgcv should migrate from unstable to testing in the usual 10 day
window.

Hth, Dirk
