[R-pkg-team] Bug#1024661: r-bioc-bitseq: orphaned upstream and blocking BioC 3.16 transition

[Andreas Tille]

Source: r-bioc-bitseq
Version: 1.40.0+dfsg-1
Severity: critical
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1023731 at bugs.debian.org, debian-r at lists.debian.org

As per upstream

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2022/11/msg00058.html

r-bioc-bitseq is not supported any more.  It does not build against the
packages that are part of the BioC 3.16 release (namely r-bioc-rhtslib
which does not contain the header file bam.h any more)

Before we might remove r-bioc-bitseq finally from Debian we want to give
interested people a chance to fix the code but this bug should remove the
package from testing to not block the BioC 3.16 transition.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
