Re: Seems we need a transition for r-base instead of lots of single bugs against single packages (Was: Bug#1039645: r-cran-epi: autopkgtest failure with r-base (4.3.1-1))

You are correct. A transition is all we need. However, in case of
r-cran-epi simply adding a versioned dep on dplyr should do the trick.
(epi is not a failure in excuses for dplyr).

I think this particular bug is sensible because without these versioned
depends, epi will fail it's tests (for instance while backporting). We
can go on closing these BRs on the fly. It would also help you track all
the dependencies a bit better.

PS: Do you need a hand with this transition?

Best,
Nilesh
