So if you complaint is that the package is too old ... you could get the
package sources and build yourself a newer one locally.
yes! But the pkg was not the easiest to compile without the trick below

Yes, 'apt-get build-dep foo' is a good trick. Another I like (and use on
Ubuntu) is 'apt-get source foo' -- with an additonal deb-src entry pointing to
Debian unstable. That way you can get newest packages in source and then
built them into a deb locally.
Okay, nice! Actually, I had similar problems with a few other packages
which have complicated depedencies too (rgl, Rgtk2, rpvm) and could not
compile them, but using the build-dep trick I could finally update them
from within R!
But I feel that using this method I install many more packages than
required actually... no? Do you think it would be possible to update
them once? I know it is unfortunately much more cumbersome to do this on
Ubuntu than on Debian :-(
Thanks a lot!!

My pleasure!
