Hi,

BioConductor has just released version 3.17.  Since the next r-base
release is pending on 2023-10-31 we do not think it is a good idea to
start the transition before but it might make sense to open this bug
right now.  (No idea whether we will see a proper r-api transition but
building everything against the new r-base sounds like less hassle
than doing r-api-bioc transition right now.)
The BioConductor transition will bump the virtual package
r-api-bioc-3.17 to r-api-bioc-3.18.

BTW, I'm aware that a couple of r-bioc-* packages did not yet migrated
to testing due to some autopkgtest issues on some architectures.  We
decided that it makes sense to do the transition first and approach
upstream about their latest release in case those issues might remain.

Kind regards and thanks a lot for your work as release team
    Andreas.
