Noted, you mean all r-cran-* packages on the list right? (I'm doing this 
semi-automatically). I checked some before filing and the packages were 
missing RM bugs, otherwise I wouldn't have submitted these bugs. As a 
Release Manager I still expect you to handle the situation with a bit of 
urgency, the upload happened more than 30 days ago and I'm not aware of 
the resolution how you're intending to handle it with ftp-master.

As noted in the bug text, the bugs are already closed, they merely serve 
to expose the issue (successfully ;) ), track them [1] and cause 
autoremoval for non-key packages. If the blockers of the migration get 
solved and the package migrates, the bug is automatically no longer 
relevant.

PS: note that the migration failure of r-cran-av is one of the reasons 
why the ffmpeg transition isn't done yet.
