As I wrote on the r-sig-debian list (which also acts as help for Ubuntu) a
few hours ago:
Please read the README in the bin/linux/ubuntu/ directory on any CRAN
mirror, eg
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu
and follow the instructions. By adding a new and current source of R
packages, provided by CRAN, you get the current version of R -- ie 2.15.1
Please use that to obtain a _binary_ of R 2.15.1 for your architecture. If
you get stuck, please subscribe to r-sig-debian and ask there.
