Note that this is Depends, not Build-Depends. I found that in debian/control, r-cran-tmb has Depends: r-cran-matrix (>= 1.5-3-1~), but this is somehow replaced in the binary package, presumably by dh-r? Andreas, would it be possible for dh-r to always replace the version in r-cran-tmb's Depends with r-cran-matrix (>= [the version of r-cran-matrix it was built with]) ? Then you can avoid modifying Build-Depends and upstream's DESCRIPTION, and will allow r-cran-tmb to be binNMU'd when needed. It should also allow for easier backporting. Regards Graham
