That may be an error / oversight / something created when we moved from
cdbs. I will fix it.

Probably not. We needed to depends on cdbs because r-cran.mk used it, and
this looks like it was a semiautomatic conversion -- which we may not need.

I will make the change. There will be R 3.5.1 in two weeks, so it will
propagate quickly enough. I think we may not need an extra upload now.
Thanks for the heads-up.
