The edgy version (0.99.2-4build1) of rpy has broken maintainer scripts because dh_installdeb is called before dh_pycentral. The result is that the python files are not installed to directory in the python path. If you run:
python
importy rpy
it can't find the rpy modules. This was fixed in Debian with version (0.99.2-5) by putting dh_installdeb later in debian/rules and adding python-rpy.{preinst,postinst,prerm} and I am attaching a debdiff that backports this fix. The impact is that python-rpy is totally unusable on edgy as is.
