Thanks!  That was easy enough -- my other gcc-10 "victim" (dieharder)
required much more extensive changes (but then CRAN already made me make the
same change last December (!!) when it was their turn to ask for gcc-10 fixes
in my R package RDieHarder using the same code).

I was about to let sprng die its natural cause as I had assumed that
r-cran-rsprng was its only reverse dependency (and that package was removed
from CRAN years ago).

As I now see that another package depends on sprng I will maintain sprng for
a while longer---but it too is outdated. Its build system was a mess, they
rewrote for sprng4 and sprng5 but I guess there is no real demand for that in
Debian.

I find it a little rude and inconstructive that this was NMUed without even
emailing me first, but that's just how it is with some people.

Cheers, Dirk
