I relayed information I got from Matrix upstream in private email which then
also lead to the emails written to r-package-devel I already referenced:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2023q4/010051.html
  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2023q4/010054.html

There is nothing more at this point.

But we know the remaining Debian packages

  r-cran-irlba
  r-cran-openmx
  r-cran-matrixmodels

require a rebuild.
