I tried to follow debian-policy with the provides/replaces/conflicts, but I
might have gotten it wrong. I now added r-recommended to this list, and it
seems to work better for me, but maybe you can try again. The version is
0sarge2 and should appear on your cran mirror soon, but you could try to
install from my debian page directly.
