Could do, I think, and once did. Grep'ing debian/changelog:
edd@bud:~$ grep "^r-base.*\~" src/debian/R/R-3.4.2/debian/changelog | wc -l
71
edd@bud:~$ grep "^r-base.*\~" src/debian/R/R-3.4.2/debian/changelog | head
r-base (3.0.1~20130512-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (3.0.0~20130330-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (3.0.0~20130327-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (3.0.0~20130324-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.3~20130327-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.3~20130326-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.3~20130324-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.1~20120617-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.0~20120323-1) unstable; urgency=low
r-base (2.15.0~20120317-1) unstable; urgency=low
edd@bud:~$
So we did this 71 times, but stopped 4+ years ago. Not sure what got the
toolchain coughing, but I guess we could try again.
