I've added a todo item

    https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/commit/a7b22d1c5834fb920fe286aad57536f8ffbdac6b

You are right that somebody should fix this.  I admit I have quite some
RC bugs on my todo list and will leave this for somebody else / some
later point in time.

BTW, do you have any idea why that bug is filed against Debian Med
packaging list[1] while the maintainer of the package is
r-pkg-team at alioth-lists.debian.net?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
