Its hard to tell dh-update-R what to remove and what not. It calls
for user interaction when it finds that the string
# <dh-update-R>do not delete this</dh-update-R>
was removed. That's not optimal but its not really blindly. In the
r-cran-tmb case no user interaction is needed (any more) since the
problem is solved inside the packaging. At least this is the idea
of this "do not delete" hack.
Kind regards
Andreas.
