When doing an update at work I saw that the 3.1.0 beta would hit, and I did not yet want that at work so I simply commented out that repository definition in /etc/apt/sources.d/. These packages may be spilling over from a test repo into the main CRAN mirror a little too soon... OTOH they seem to work.

This one would be on me, from the Ubuntu side of things. Dirk pushed the beta version (3.0.3) of 3.1.0 out and I didn't read the email carefully enough. Thinking that it was a regular upgrade, I pushed it out to all currently supported versions of Ubuntu.
Beyond the strange numbering of the package, it appears to be working just fine. If there are any issues, let Dirk and I know and we can clear them up before the release of R 3.1.0.
My goal is to only push out final release versions, although every once in a while a per-release will slip through. Sorry if that caused any confusion.
