Building CRAN packages is trivial, it usually takes me about five minutes max
per package.
Yet I am not convinced that is what we want to sponsor more as some folks who
have sponsored / packaged / uploaded are not keeping up with the new versions
at CRAN (I think that holds for matchit, pscl, sp, vgam, zelig per [1] and
other pages). I try to keep up with mine, and it really is not a large
effort. Yet someone has to make it for the sponsored / team-managed packages
too.

Are you aware of http://debian.cran.r-project.org which gets you 2000+ CRAN
packages as deb files for testing on i386 and amd64 ? That is an automated
process not suitable for injection into Debian proper, but one that could be
extended to other arches etc given suitable hardware donations.
