[R-pkg-team] Bug#1054323: r-cran-tmb: autopkgtest needs update for new version of rmatrix: Package version inconsistency detected

Control: found -1 1.9.6-2

Note that this is Depends, not Build-Depends.

I found that in debian/control, r-cran-tmb has Depends:
r-cran-matrix (>= 1.5-3-1~), but this is somehow replaced in the
binary package, presumably by dh-r?

Andreas, would it be possible for dh-r to always replace the version
in r-cran-tmb's Depends with r-cran-matrix (>= [the version of
r-cran-matrix it was built with]) ?

Then you can avoid modifying Build-Depends and upstream's DESCRIPTION,
and will allow r-cran-tmb to be binNMU'd when needed.  It should also
allow for easier backporting.
