Ahem, that is more a question for debian-user at lists,debian.org, not r-help.
R 1.7.1 is part of "sid" aka "unstable", you can point to any of the mirrors
listed in http://www.debian.org/mirror/list which includes one primary
and maybe three dozen secondary mirrors in the US alone. Your apt-get man
pages will tell you about source depends, but it as simple as
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Do you have any specific reason why the packages Doug Bates and I have been
maintaining for over half a decade aren't good enough?
