Yes, we'll take care of that where it looks sane to do so (examples of that are r-cran-epi); I'll manually schedule the "combined" tests, such that they disappear from the excuses if they then pass.
Alternatively it would probably OK to remove all RC buggy r-bioc-* packages from testing since we need to upload new versions of these packages anyway in the pending BioC transition (I'll file an according bug report soon).
If you're OK to temporarily remove r-bioc-*, than I think it's the fastest and easiest way out, albeit not the prettiest.
Please all involved, hold any uploads in the r-* world until we get r-base migrated unless it's needed (and we acked it).
PaulPS: in a private discussion I had today, we noticed that r-* packages often (always?) have a dependency on r-base-core with a lower limited version equal to the r-base-core that was used during the build. With the appropriate API in Provides of r-base-core, this should no longer be necessary and ease migrations in the future. We should probably file a bug against dh-r (I guess) to fix that dependency. Or did we conclude that wrong?
