Dear Carl, the CRAN repository does not support Debian testing. I did think of adding support for jessie, as it is frozen now, but did not get around to do it yet.
I believe you would have no problem when using Debian stable. Am Freitag, 16.

At the moment you are on your own with R 3.1.2 on jessie. The easiest safe bet in my opinion would be to install from the Debian sources in unstable, i.e. add a deb-src entry for unstable to your sources.list, do an apt-get build-dep r-base and then apt-get source --build r-base and install the packages with dpkg. > Thanks for your help, > > Carl Hope it helps.
