Actually, most of the time the dependency structure between Debian unstable and testing is such that the packages from unstable can be installed "straight through" into testing. Look at the apt-get HOWTO for the details on pinning which allows you to selectively pull in some package via the comfort of apt-get.
I am aware I could pin R, but I am quite conservative on that respect and I have always preferred waiting a bit more than mixing my distributions. I doubt it will be more than a few days (and besides, I would be surprised of any difference in the tarball built by R 2.0.1 and 2.1.0). Regards, Federico Calboli
