I noticed that too and spoke with Vincent and Michael -- this should get sorted out 'soon'. It is due to the non-binary packages being ready from the i386 build but being dependent on the corresponding amd64 packages which are not there yet. As a one-off alternative, you could preview the packages we prepared for the upcoming Ubuntu 9.10 release. See this page https://launchpad.net/~revor/+archive/ppa for details and the sources.list entry. These contain some REvolution R enhancements. I run those on amd64 at work, and they do install and run just fine :) Lastly, r-sig-debian is a better list for this. I just caught your post by chance.
