I suspected as much.

Or improve that auto-generation. I think (but haven't tested), that
adding a -~~ (or something along those lines) to any upstream version in
such relations will prevent an upstream hyphen from being treated as the
separator between the upstream version and the Debian revision number.

That is just hiding the bug. On the other hand, I don't care enough that
I want you to fix this all right now (you can close this bug if you
want), but I think this bug exposed a bug in the auto-generation of r
dependencies in general. I suspect you as r maintainers do want to fix that.
