Mark, I have a .deb packages of quantreg 3.40 and 3.50 here -- they were was created last July when I was preparing explicit .deb packages for Quantian. Newer Quantian releases have (almost) all of CRAN and BioConductor straight in /usr/local which was easier for me to set up.
Quantian may be of interest to you -- a live dvd similar to mepis, but loaded with scientific software and openMosix ready. See http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian Email me off-list if you want the deb of quantreg 3.50.
