"Unstable" is not guaranteed to work at all times.
Prior to a release of R, I tend to make several snapshots available -- in a
way that precludes them from entering testing. So R and rpy in testing work,
and will work -- until R 2.2.0 enters testing AND if and only if rpy will
not have updated. So your bug report is appreciated as a heads-up, but is
also entirely "upstream".
So would you agree with me leaving this open as a reminder, CCing it to Greg
and tagging it as both 'unstable' and 'upstream' ?
Lastly, I don;t think the strongly versioned help here as it really is a
one-to-one relationship. We simply need to update rpy; I wouldn't want it to
block R from entering testing as there are many R users who do not use rpy.

My pleasure. Thanks for the feedback and your helping it keeping the
quality level up.
