[R-pkg-team] Bug#994847: r-cran-parsetools: Unmaintained, has been removed from CRAN

[Nilesh Patra]

Package: r-cran-parsetools
Version: 0.1.3-2
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: nilesh at debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

r-cran-parsetools has been removed from CRAN[1], and so has its reverse
dependencies[2,3]
This is currently stalling the migration of r-base, hence filing this
bug to remove all three from testing.

Note that parsetools has testextra as the only reverse-dep and testextra
has purrrogress as the only reverse-dep.
So a chain of packages shall not be affected
