Thanks for fixing the issue. However, it seems incomplete. If I understand the situation correctly, r-cran-tmb needs a strict *versioned* dependency on rmatrix that matches the build. Given that this is Debian, isn't it better to patch that check out of r-cran-tmb than to rebuild and update the version in d/control? The autopkgtest scheduled for the migration of r-cran-tmb shows that the *versioned* dependency is really appropriate as r-cran-tmb otherwise seems to fail. Remember that for migration testing, we test in testing with the smallest set from unstable as allowed by the (test) dependencies.
