As a general remark about *all* packages of r-pkt-team:  They actually
all also your packages and you are kindly invited to change anything you
consider worth changing and do team uploads.  I've seen you've sometimes
filed bugs that might take less time by just fixing and uploading the
issue instead of calling reportbug.  Please, pretty please, save your
and other team members time and simply do team uploads instead if you
consider this the easier solution.

If you say so its probably needed to deactivate this test in
pkg-r-autopkgtest as well, right?
 
Kind regards
