Why? Many of us use 'apt-pinning' with luck. My box is
'testing' but I
often install the .deb package I upload into unstable there as well. Works
like a charm most of time.

Can you provide details?

That's what is tyoically done -- a new release and the porters roll forward
to it too.

I don't understand either. Lenny has its own (now dated) R, it has
(current)
R from CRAN (running the stable builds) and it runs the sid build I maintain.
