For Ubuntu, your best bet is Michael's PPA. AFAIK it covers "a large number"
of package but does not quite have complete CRAN coverage. See
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u
For Debian, the less-well-known but equally impressive effort is by Don. See
http://debian-r.debian.net/
Our old cran2deb codebase is still there and at the core of both of these,
but they essentially branches or "v3.0" implementations.
