Well if you have spare cycles, would you mind looking at the various r-cran-*
packages some of which are __several__ CRAN releases behind?

I can help with the package level diagnosis from the R end of things (that is
after all what my CRANberries at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/
already does, and stores in a local database) but I have not yet had time to
look at accessing the Debian DB to check out versions.  

A casual look at
http://qa.debian.org/[email protected]
reveals

        r-cran-epir
        r-cran-msm
        r-bioc-biobas
        r-bioc-limma
        r-bioc-affy
        r-bioc-affyio
        
and dozens more to be behind -- there is a LOT more pink ("behind") than
green ("current").

I don't think that is good, and I don't understand why you folks keep adding
packages only to let them fall behind.

Many seem to have had a single upload, only to get forgotten later.
