unnecessarily tight dependency on R for r-cran-scales

[Faheem Mitha <faheem@faheem.info>]

Hi,

When I try to install r-cran-scales in unstable, I get

root@orwell:/home/faheem# apt-get install r-cran-scales

[snip]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 r-cran-scales : Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.0.1-3) but 3.0.1-3~wheezycran3.0 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I'm using Dirk's CRAN wheezy backport of R 3.0 from unstable. My point
is that ${R:Depends} seems to pick the most recent version of R that
it is built against. I don't know if this is actually necessary,
because this package clearly does not require such a tight dependency.

To get it to work I had to rebuild on my machine.

The relevant control follows.

                                 Regards, Faheem
