You can use apt-get to get R from Debian (albeit not the newest version) and you can also use apt-get to get R from CRAN (newest version). See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian Either variant will be correctly built and have all available capabilities. In other words, you do not need to locally rebuild R (but are of course free to do so if have a good reason). Also note that there is the r-sig-debian list for questions on R and Debian/Ubunut.
