Built this, in case anyone else needs it:

http://people.binf.ku.dk/hanne/files/r-base-core_2.9.0-1~lennycran.0_amd64.deb

Use on your own risk, I am probably breaking every rule on package maintenance.

I tried to use the cran repository on new Lenny installation, it has newer versions of everything than Lenny, but the binaries was only i386.

I installed the source from

deb-src http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/CRAN/bin/linux/debian lenny-cran
with
apt-get source r-base-core
and built it with
debuild -us -uc
without making any changes at all. Found method here: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/20

I probably should add something in a change log somewhere? Well I didn't. Teach me and I shall do better next time.

I think there used to be 64 bit R cran packages? Perhaps I should offer to compile them... but then I better learn the rules first.
