I found it:

$  cat debian/rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f

include /usr/share/dh-r/r-cran.mk

%:
	dh $@ --buildsystem R

override_dh_installdocs:
	tar caf tests.tar.xz tests
	dh_installdocs
	rm -rf tests.tar.xz

The owner of the tests.tar.xz files seems to be different in buildds and
in reproducible-builds.  Thanks for catching it up with your
infrastructure.  I will check if this extra complication in the
packaging is really needed.

Cheers,

Charles
