Sure -- always happy to help the releases.
But could you be a tiny bit more explicit and tell me what you want me to
fix, where I need to upload, etc or I may get this messed.
The changelog doesn't show me what I did wrong:
r-cran-dosnow (1.0.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control: Added r-cran-snow to Depends (Closes: #700498)
* debian/control: Set Build-Depends: to current R version
* debian/control: Set Standards-Version: to current version

Are you asking for a build under a different R version? Couldn't you just
make a binary NMU with a different Build-Depends?
We have an informal policy to release r-cran-* packages _for unstable_. So I
always encode the then-current version via Build-Depends. On Feb 13, that
will have been R 2.15.2 aka r-base-core_2.15.2.
"Upstream" for r-cran-dosnow has much weaker requirements. It would probably
build on stable... but I frankly do not know where to upload to. The
version in unstable has the correct control file.
Dirk, generally busy
