Hi Dirk,
according to this email from the Release team, autopkgtest regressions
will delay packages but not block them.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/05/msg00001.html
However, I see that the R transition is entangled with other
transitions:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/r-base-3.5.html
And some of these transitions, such as curl, are not 100 % ready.
It seems that the best thing we could to accelerate the end of this
process would be to work on the other entangled transitions, which
does not look easy at a first glance.
Another, more radical, option would be to ask to remove from testing the
entangled r-* packages. But some of them are quite central in the
dependency network, so it would end up removing a lot of packages...
Have a nice day,
Charles
