| From the log and the public headers of the package, it does look like
| the libraries shipped by jags break ABI on a rebuild with the new
| libstdc++.  However, instead of being properly split out as required by
| policy, the libraries are shipped as part of the 'jags' binary package,
| which makes this a bit of a pain.  I guess what needs to happen now is
| - split the libraries out to separate binary packages
| - add Breaks on r-cran-rjags (<< 1:3-15-1) (thankfully the only reverse 
dependency)
| - rebuild r-cran-rjags

Because only r-cran-rjags depends on jags, can we not simply

  rebuild jags and maybe give it a 'v5' version 
  
  rebuild r-cran-jags, depending on either the 'v5' versioning or just the
  'high enough' jags version ?

I don't see the need for splitting the libraries out of the jags
package. What am I missing?
