Thanks for this ITP since it is also on my list of needed packages for
r-cran-treescape which needs several dependencies.  I have noticed
that its even in NEW.  I wonder how you was able to build it without
r-cran-bh since I also tried to package r-cran-dplyr[1] but I had the
impression that r-cran-bh (#819389) would be required.

It would be great if you would move your packaging to some VCS (for
instance Debian Science).  I would volunteer to commit autopkg stuff
which I've just prepared[1].

Kind regards

      Andreas.
