Unfortunately each of those r-deps has tons of other r-deps which are not
multi-arch and with a long chain of building (e.g. gdal requested weeks
for transitioning). Fixing this could start 
a domino effect which currently I'm still not able to understand completely 
with requests of m-a supports for dozens of other libs which also require
time for support and check (m-a support could impact with FTBSes many programs).
Doing that at a few days from freeze is out of question for me.
So, if someone would start with this m-a support and manage all consequences, 
that it's not me sorry. It should be start in experimental staging area and
a full rebuild of all r-deps should be done there too.
