I have argues before that these need to be reassigned as these packages generally build at CRAN -- and test in a wider (OS-wise speaking) setting than we have. See eg https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_permute.html which gets OK on each of the 12 platforms -- across multiple releases and OSs. I have in the past tried to argue and explain how our system of autopkgtest was in my eyes not the right approach _as it ignores the system R itself has and uses_ and these repeated bug reports are just repurcussions of it. I am tired of rehashing it as it goes nowhere. They must be fixed in the respective packages. R releases once a year with 3 to 4 minor releases, and I tend to upload thoses. R 3.6.0 comes out April 26. I plan to upload it. The Debian release can use the testing version as in the past.
