Good day,

While my MR doesn't fix the issue of querying the wrong distribution metadata, it does fix the overmatching that led to r-cran-spatstat.core (and others) being selected when not requested:

https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autodep8/-/merge_requests/36

Please consider merging that MR and releasing a new autodep8 so we can re-run the autopkgtests for r-cran-spatstat* and other affected packages (r-cran-stars, r-cran-sf, r-cran-sparr, r-cran-epir, etc..) and get them back into testing.

Thank you!
