Done. It is now on its way to Incoming / NEW with this changelog entry:
snow (1:0.3.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* This upload reclaims the source package 'snow' and binary package
'r-cran-snow' after another package was uploaded with the same
source package name. Thanks to Frank Lichtenheld for support.
(Closes: #509859)
* debian/changelog: Incremented version number with an epoch to allow
overwriting the accidentally uploaded other snow package.
* debian/control: Set (Build-)Depends: to current R version 2.8.1
* debian/control: Also Suggests: r-cran-snow which is now supported

source
| | package as (prior to this thread) nobody really replied to my requests for
help.
|
| (Thanks for removing that, Frank!)
|
| | | 3) This will go to NEW, since the binary package isn't
| | | present in unstable anymore. But we can probably fast-track this.
|
| That would be great.
|
| Dirk
|
| | | 4) This will then overwrite the new snow package and if Jari wants
| | | to upload his package again, he will need to choose another source
| | | package name.
| |
| | Sounds good to me.
| |
| | | If anyone sees any issues with this proposed solution, please speak
| | | up fast.
| | |
| | | Using the source package name snow for the new package is really no
| | | option since it just confuses all the websites and other infrastructure
| | | to no end (and the users, too...).
| |
| | Agreed. Snow, for better or worse, is tagged to by r-cran-snow so Jary could
| | create a new steg-snow or snow-steg or a different name.
| |
| | Best regards, Dirk
