Well: which version, exactly?  The pages at 

   https://packages.debian.org/r-cran-shiny

show us that there are quite a few, and that you could get current 1.5.0
version if you enable the buster-backports repo.

a) Standard procedure: Please establish whether this happens with the
_current_ package in Debian. If so, _contact the Debian maintainer_

b) Stuff happens. CRAN moves fast. For me, Debian stable is too old. You may
have to find _your sweet spot_ between current CRAN features and Debian
stability and upgradeability.

Cheers, Dirk
