According to http://landorsplace.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/weekend-wrap-up/, Mint LMDE can be seen as a real debian , but with a ca-one month lag (__if__ everything is OK, and __if__ they keep their choices). They add more user friendly (at least they claim) installers and interfaces, which are not likely to interfere with R or its dependencies, and non-free drivers (which ere not likely...) .... Their intended audience is likely to be beginners (but, as R is more difficult than bash scripting and OS installing, is Mint -rather meant for video/music playing, without too many efforts- necessary?).

I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), which is a very nice distribution that is real Debian AFAIK. I have synaptic pointed at the UC Berkeley mirror, which does not appear to have 2.13.1 yet.
