Great work!

Please file a bugreport against julia package, to establish a public 
dialogue with the package maintainers about our needs and your findings.

If source package pcre3¹ is unusable (considering also if patching Julia 
to fit might be sensible) - then please file a bugreport against 
psudo-package wnpp (work needed pending progress) of type ITP or RFP 
(depending on whether you intend to package it yourself or request for 
others to package it.

Then, when filed and you get acknowledgement mail with bugnumber, add a 
usertag so that we can track the bugs relevant to our project.  I have 
no experience with actually juggling with usertags, but seems it is well 
documented at https://wiki.debian.org/bugs.debian.org/usertags

NB! It seems that Julia is only an optional component of Beaker.  If 
equally fine for you to work on then getting Beaker dependencies for R 
apackaged for Debian, and figuring out why loading the R module still 
fails even if seemingly all dependencies are satisfied, might make 
better sense to work on first.  But getting Julia in shape is sure good 
too.
