I guess I need some time to verify all dependencies and may be we even
find a fix. But this needs time I do not have currently. It does not
make sense to me to stop testing migration of other r-cran-* packages
just because a candidate for removal makes some tests fail.

Closing this was a mistake and I've re-opened it. Regarding the testing
removal of r-cran-rgdal. This bug would do this automatically.
However, as long as the package is in testing it creates noise of testing
removal announcements which does not really help. Thus my request for
removal from testing.
Sorry for the mess I've created by closing this bug
Andreas.
