Bug#649446: science-statistics: Please change from r-cran-design to r-cran-rms

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Package: science-statistics
Version: 0.14
Severity: wishlist

science-statistics has a Recommends: on r-cran-design (and just about every
other r-cran-* package available at the time...)

Now, r-cran-design, or 'Design' upstream, has been replaced many, many years
ago by its author, Prof Frank Harrell, in favour of a new package just called
'rms' (no, not what you think but rather 'Regression Modelling Strategies')
which is the name of the book that the 'Design' package already supported.

I have _finally_ packaged this, and the good folks at the NEW queue already
let it in.

With that, I would like to retire r-cran-design from Debian (as it is no
longer an actively maintained upstream package) which would require your
package to no longer recommend it.

Could you please make the change?

Many thanks,  Dirk
