Indeed :)

+***  v. 1.7-3 (2013.01.09)
+
+(2013.01.09)
+Commented the parts related to non-additive GC in qtscore
+Removed calls to 'attach' from multiple procedures
+Decrease of running time for long-running examples (GC_ovdom,GC,check.marker,Xfix,srdta)
+
+(2013.01.07)
+Fixing the problem which prevents the package from loading while checking the version on CRAN

I confirm that 1.7-0 fails and 1.7-3 builds.  Also, the error also affects the
binary package (version 1.7-0), rendering it useless.

Our choices are:

 a) distribute 1.7-3 in Wheezy (note that the diff is not small),
 b) backport the correction, and
 c) remove r-cran-genabel from Wheezy.

I volunteer for a), and I am neutral with b) and c).

Have a nice day,
