r-base 2.11.1-7 seems to have been built everywhere now. I would kindly ask
you to unblock it for 'squeeze'. The package is unchanged from 2.11.1-6 with
the sole difference the addition of libzma-dev to the Build-Depends, an
oversight I had already corrected in the 2.12.0 pre-releases currently in
experimental.
