| Hi,

| I just saw a R binary package (r-cran-isospec) with wrong dependencies
| (bug not yet opened). Lintian doesn't warn about a problem in its

| "missing-dependency-on-r-api") to warn if any R binary packages (
| r-{cran|bioc|other}-* ) don't depend at least to a virtual r-api-*
| package.
Not a bad idea.
OTOH the way we implement the tag doesn't it get added automagically by the
r-base-core package when constructing an r-{cran,bioc,...}-* package?
