You can point mint update at the debian testing repository if you want a
true rolling update (and know how to fix things when they break) or at
the mint repositories if you want the Mint folks to gather up and test
out things for a month before they pass the updates on to you. The Mint
debian experience is about the same as Ubuntu 10.10 - you can do real
work if you want or just fool around. I think it is a great platform for
using R and RStudio/StatET.

According to

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?).

R 2.13.1 was uploaded to Debian unstable the morning of its release.
What is available on CRAN is a supplementary service which (for Debian) is
provided by Johannes as explained in the README there.0

So why are you asking about Debian when you are running Mint. Are you mixing
binaries from different distribution?
Dirk
I don't know much, but I know not to mix binaries from different
distributions. 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.
