Thanks Dirk!

Another weirdness I have come across in Ubuntu today is rebuilds of 
r-cran-expm and r-cran-mlmrev fail with the following:

dh_auto_install: warning: can't parse dependency @builddeps@
Can't call method "get_deps" on an undefined value at 
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/R.pm line 49.

Both packages have the following in debian/tests/control:
Depends: @, @builddeps@, ...

Removing either @ or @builddeps@ fixes the build, it seems to choke on 
having both.  Any ideas?
