That seems like a bug of Debian; R should be able to find Sweave.sty with
> file.path(R.home("share"), "texmf", "tex", "latex", "Sweave.sty")
[1] "/usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty"
I'm using Ubuntu and R can find Sweave.sty correctly.
If possible, I strongly recommend you update R to the latest 2.14.1
(it is pretty easy to update if you set a CRAN mirror; see
instructions at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/). There
have been many changes in Sweave since 2.11.
