The "issue" is with the .deb packager. That means that R-2.6.2 was not around when the package was built (may be it was not released then).
Currently rpy is building a C-level module for each version of R (and is looking for the matching module at run time). Greg and I started discussing on that: the need appeared because symbol names in R are changing through versions. One possibility is to relax the one-to-one association between a version of R and a C-level module, and keep the same python module until the R symbol names used in RPy change.
