[R-sig-Debian] getting the Debian pgp key --more detail

[Anne York]

When I execute the command

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 381BA480

as specified in the README, the keyserver times out. I tried
several key servers and same thing occurs. When I use the
the email or brower options on the keyservers, it responds
that the key does not not exist.

I'm not sure how to get this key from the CRAN mirrors as
Dirk suggested.  I tried the fhcrc and sfu servers.
