Thanks for fixing the issue. However, it seems incomplete. If I 
understand the situation correctly, r-cran-tmb needs a strict 
*versioned* dependency on rmatrix that matches the build. Given that 
this is Debian, isn't it better to patch that check out of r-cran-tmb 
than to rebuild and update the version in d/control?

The autopkgtest scheduled for the migration of r-cran-tmb shows that the 
*versioned* dependency is really appropriate as r-cran-tmb otherwise 
seems to fail.

Remember that for migration testing, we test in testing with the 
smallest set from unstable as allowed by the (test) dependencies.

Paul
