Probably :)
Try
http://changelog.debian.net/r-base
http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/r-base.html
and as with all of the releases since going back to 1.4 (!!) when you and I
started this pattern, pre-releases are being made available with the start of
the alpha releases. I mostly stick to a weekly schedule, and hence have made
March 20 and 27 releases and am building one based of yesterday's April 3
tarball as we speak.
Vincent and Michael actually follow these and have already tested Ubuntu
builds based on these 2.9.0 pre-releases, but we tend not to upload those to
CRAN. Comments from interested parties as to whether we should upload these
or not are welcome. With my "using-these-Ubuntu-package-for-real-at-work" hat
on, I'd say sticking to releases is fine for Ubuntu. "Normally" you can just
say 'apt-get source' pointing to Debian unstable source; but with the recent
Debian release there are a few minor policy changes that require a minor
patch on a current Ubuntu system. I believe Vincent has those patches in a
public svn...
