| Dear maintainers,
| 
| With a recent upload of multcomp the autopkgtest of r-cran-dosefinding
| fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
| of multcomp from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
| testing. In tabular form:
|                        pass            fail
| multcomp               from testing    1.4-10-1
| r-cran-dosefinding     from testing    0.9-16-2
| versioned deps [0]     from testing    from unstable
| all others             from testing    from testing

No issue at CRAN for multcomp:

   https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_multcomp.html

So this is likely self-inflicted at Debian.

Also, DoseFinding only _Suggests:_ multcomp

| [0] You can see what packages were added from the second line of the log
| file quoted below. The migration software adds source package from
| unstable to the list if they are needed to install packages from
| multcomp/1.4-10-1. I.e. due to versioned dependencies or breaks/conflicts.
