Hi Andreas,
I am not sure if “not happy” is so accurate. If I remember well, Dirk was
reluctant to add such a function before seeing evidence that it is robust in
the long term. And he was right as in the first iteration, the tilde suffix
was missing in the version number for ${R:Depends}.
Now that time has passed, I think that we have good evidence that it works. I
indeed think that it would be good to propose it as a patch to
/usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk.
Have a nice day,
