Thanks a lot Dirk for doing this. (Note that since the string
'r-api-3.4' is entirely arbitrary, it can be changed to something
technically more neutral, like 'r-debian-epoch-3.4' or whatever is
better).
Since it is unfortunately not possible to do binNMUs on
architecture-independant packages, we will need a bunch of source
uploads, but hopefully we will get there.
Here is an example on how to see which arch-independant packages need a
rebuild, per maintainer.
grep-aptavail -FDepends r-api-3 -a -FArchitecture all -a -FMaintainer Science -sPackage
Package: r-cran-arm
Package: r-cran-bms
Package: r-cran-bradleyterry2
Package: r-cran-ca
Package: r-cran-coda
Package: r-cran-conting
[and a few dozens more]
Have a nice day
