This package belongs to a set of dependencies for r-cran-brms which is
needed to upgrade r-cran-emmeans to the latest upstream version.

Unfortunately this package currently depends r-cran-rjsonio which is
in non-free.  This is discussed with upstream here
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2018/05/msg00065.html
but I'm opening this ITP as well to give the discussion a wider visibility.
