Essentially dh-r should query the package database to figure out which CRAN packages have an epoch, and adapt its generated versioned dependencies. Unfortunately that means that dh-r will no longer be fully functional offline (querying the local apt cache could be a fallback, but there's no guarantee that it is up-to-date, even when running unstable). -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
