Please use "Depends: lme4 (>= 1.1-10), Imports: Matrix (>= 1.2-3)" in pbkrtest since those packages have dashes in version string
Hi Michael
I'm aware that R does not make a distinction between '-' and '.' in
version strings. However, if we use lme4 (>= 1.1.10) or Matrix (>=
1.2.3) in the Debian package this is considered a higher version than
the current versions containg a dash. That's why it would help if you
could stick to the same spelling as the authors of lme4 and Matrix have
choosen to enable us generating versioned dependencies automatically
inside the pbkrtest package.
I've attached a patch that works for the Debian package.
Thanks for considering
Andreas.

Description: Fix version strings of lme4 and Matrix in DESCRIPTION to be
comparable with Debian version strings.
.
Since dh-r adds versioned Depends the package is not installable if
the version strings are spelled differently.
