A new major release R 3.0.0 will come out on Wednesday April 3rd, as usual
according the the release plan and announcements [1].
It contains major internal changes [2] and requires rebuilds of all R
packages. As I usually do, I started packaging pre-releases and rc
candidates [3] based on March 24, 27 and 30 snapshots.
Michael Rutter, who tirelessly backports (most of) my Debian R packages to
Ubuntu, has also made builds of these R packages [4].
As for unstable, we have an issue as essentially all reverse-dependencies
that are R packages will need to be rebuilt [5]. On testing, I get for
158 packages from `apt-cache rdepends r-base-core | grep -c r-cran-`.
I maintain the core set ("r-recommended") and a bunch of others which I have
rebuilt over the last two or three days:

Based on a simple script (running on testing rather than unstable) I get the
following set of unique maintainers of related packages:

Debian Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packaging at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Debian Science Maintainers <debian-science-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

Julian Gilbey <jdg at debian.org>
Philip Rinn <rinni at gmx.net>
The Debichem Group <debichem-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>
and I am CCing everybody now to see if they could please rebuild the packages
within a week or so. Come next weekend we'll review and switch to direct
email pings.
Comments, suggestions, ... most welcome. Please CC me on replies as I am no
longer subscribed to debian-devel.
Cheers, Dirk
