Bug#961709: lintian: Warn if R binary packages don't depend on virtual r-api-* package

[Dylan Aïssi <daissi@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.77.1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-r@lists.debian.org

Hi,

I just saw a R binary package (r-cran-isospec) with wrong dependencies
(bug not yet opened). Lintian doesn't warn about a problem in its
dependencies, so it would be cool to add a new warning (maybe
"missing-dependency-on-r-api") to warn if any R binary packages (
r-{cran|bioc|other}-* ) don't depend at least to a virtual r-api-*
package.

Thanks

Best,
Dylan
