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

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Dirk,

thanks for the hint, it's fixed in SVN and will be closed after next
upload of Debian Science packages.

Kind regards

       Andreas.

PS: BTW, you can easily fix this yourself by editing the according file in

    svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/science/trunk/debian-science/tasks
