Because that's what it said to do at

r-base-core:
  Installed: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
  Candidate: 2.7.1-1+lenny1
  Version table:
     2.11.0-2 0
        200 http://debian.yorku.ca testing/main Packages
     2.11.0-1~lennycran.0 0
        500 http://cran.R-project.org lenny-cran/ Packages
 *** 2.7.1-1+lenny1 0
        900 http://debian.yorku.ca stable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So, does this mean I should do

apt-get -t lenny-cran install r-base r-base-dev

(If the instructions on http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian
are out of date, maybe someone should correct them.)
