| 
| 1) sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list

| 3) do:
|    gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key E084DAB9
|    gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | sudo apt-key add -
| 4) do:
|    sudo apt-get update
|    sudo apt-get install r-base

We generally follow R Core releases, and the packaged versions are the actual
releases.

In other words, there are no .deb packages I am aware of that contain patch
releases.
