Hmmmm, removing Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-r should prevent the test
from running.  No idea why this does not work.

Here are some examples for alternative solutions to work around not
(yet) packaged data / code:

   https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-bioc-affy/-/blob/master/debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-r.hook
   https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-bioc-bluster/-/blob/master/debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-r.hook
   https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-bioc-purecn/-/blob/master/debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-r.hook

In file autopkgtest-pkg-r.hook you can place code that is executed as in
the usual run-unit-test script but without the beginning that copies the
data to the temporary dir.

Hope this helps

        Andreas.
