My be it was not up to date when I wrote the mail on my side.

If it is pure R than it is arch=all.

Yes, if there are any *.so files the R package comes with libraries (in
C???) which need to be compiled for each architecture separately. Then
it is arch=any.

I do not actually remember r-cran-* packages featuring an extra examples
package. However, if you check out SVN you can do
find trunk/packages -name "*examples" | grep -v tags
where you can pick a random example for instance velvet. (I admit I see
a BIG advantage in using SVN for a lot of packages that you can very
easily find a lot of relevant examples.) Just tell us if this hint is
not sufficient - I can easily show you what I mean also directly in
r-cran-ggplot2.

There is no point in filtering the uploader:

As I said this is planned but I need to fix the bugs pages first (and by
doing so the feature comes very easy).
I just fixed the tasks pages on debian-med.debian.net and hope to get the
other stuff done soonish.
Kind regards
