Ahh. And while Dirk checks daily, he only checks in $CRAN/src/contrib and
doesn't see it there. And I just checked via update.packages() in the R
2.3.0 snapshot I am running -- Version 2.3.0 beta (2006-04-14 r37779) -- and
that doesn't point to the subdir either.
So that's a bug, but more on the human interaction side between Deepayan,
CRAN and me :)
Seriously, with the versioned Depends: we can easily produce versions of
packages that depends on the upcoming-but-already-in-Debian releases. But
someone needs to tell me ....

I am sure we can work something out. Generally speaking, I am happy with the
general policy of 'Debian has the most recent R release in unstable, and
hence almost always also in testing' and helping R Core with pre-release in
Debian unstable prior to a new release. The prereleases never make it to
testing -- by ensuring I replace them frequently enough.
This seems to server most of us well. We can, I think, augment this with
updates of r-recommended in unstable as well. All we need is proper Depends
a la Depends: r-base-core (>> 2.2.1) which would ensure that the
package cannot slip into testing as testing has R 2.2.1 -- whereas unstable
has what I currently call 2.2.1.svn$SVNRELEASE where $SVNRELEASE is the
five-digit number.
Does this make sense?
