Can't install R from Debian Snapshot Archive repositories #2

@eddelbuettel I took a quick look at installing the Debian Snapshot Archive binaries. It works just fine if I grab the specific .deb files from the Snapshot Archive (e.g. this dockerfile), but it sounds like I should just be able to add the Snapshot Archive repos into sources.list and have it handle the dependencies, etc. I have that a quick try here but no go, build tells me that it cannot find the dependencies. No idea why it's failing, but probably I've made some novice error in setting up the repos.
