No, that should work at all times, esp from a fresh installation. ucf is a Debian package that is managing config file transitions between versions of a Debian package and possible user changes. The way this is supposed to happen is that at postinst time (when the .deb gets unpacked) your papersize info is integrated and written into /etc/R/Renviron. However, that file is for your convenience, what R uses is /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron --- and this should be a symlink to /etc/R/Renviron.
