Terje,

I am able to build sp for the c2d4u PPA on launchpad.  If you want to 
upgrade to R 3.0, you can just use the PPA located here: 
https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/c2d4u

If you still need R 2.15, the build-depends for the package on c2d4u are:

r-base-dev, r-cran-lattice, xvfb, xauth, xfonts-base, r-base-core, 
debhelper (>> 4.1.0), cdbs

Hope this helps,
Michael
