Bug#1120975: Please let r-base migrate by removing blocking packages

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-r@lists.debian.org

Dear Release team,

The r-base package maintained by Dirk is blocked from testing migration by
three to six r-cran-* packages maintained by us (Debian R Packages Mainainers
team).  The issue is problematic autopktests on i386, which is not supported
upstream.

    https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=r-base

Can you let r-base migrate by removing them from Testing?

urgent r-base/4.5.2-1
remove r-cran-bayestestr/0.15.2-1
remove r-cran-bit64/4.6.0-1-4
remove r-cran-blme/1.0-6-1
remove r-cran-freetypeharfbuzz/0.2.6+dfsg-3
remove r-cran-grimport2/0.3-3-1
remove r-cran-projpred/2.8.0+dfsg-1

If that removes more packages from the Debian R Packages Maintainers team, the
Debian Med team or the Debian Science team, that is fine; we are planning to
remove these packages from from i386 anyway, by build-depending on
architecture-is-64-bit in a later upload.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Have a nice day,

Charles
