I'll gladly work with you on this, Dirk.

The existing source package doesn't have a ‘Vcs-*’ field.

So I have established a Git repository at Alioth for the Debian
packaging (‘ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/pkg-rpy2.git/’). If
you are using a VCS already to track the packaging, please let me know.

Uploads to “unstable” mean “I intend this package release to be released
with the next release of Debian”. During the release freeze, the changes
allowed into the next Debian release are restricted by the freeze policy
<URL:https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html>.

For changes intended to enter Debian only after the release freeze ends,
we upload only to “experimental”.
