Updated R on Debian testing machine...
Thanks! However, that is my point: it is a bit vague what line to put in /etc/apt/source.list. And I cannot see anything in Debian section for Sid. Also, thanks for the advice on r-sig-debian. Best, PM

In a nutshell: i) add one line to /etc/apt/sources.list ii) run 'sudo apt-get update' iii) run 'sudo apt-get install r-base' and you have a shiny new R 2.8.1 for Debian testing. [ Which right now you could also take from Debian unstable but that isn't always possible. ] The CRAN service is a good one, thanks to Vincent, Michael (for Ubuntu) and Johannes for Debian to keep it running smoothly.
