Correction. I always add to the Build-Depends, not the Depends. That leaves
the generated Depends: "softer" as it (currently) only adds the r-api-4.0 tag
via dh-r. I have found this to be sufficient.
Adding explicit Depends: as Rebecca has done for e.g. r-cran-rlang in a more
selective 'as-needed' manner is always possible, and I think that way is good
as it does not overly constrain the package set.
