So the bug was first filed against r-cran-multcomp, reassigned to
r-cran-dosefinding where the test is OK in sid but the issue is blocking
the migration.  I admit I neither have any idea how to fix this.

If its rather a matter of the bug severity downgrading it manually could
enable the migration.  I have no idea whether this is the right course
of action but otherwise it looks like a deadlock for me.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
