Great, thanks for clearing that up.

Well, we are doing a transition (for some value of), just not a
"rebuild everything" transition like we must do for C libraries, but a
"rebuild only affected things" like we do for Python and other
interpreted languages.

Thanks.  I see now r-cran-lme4 now has a:
Depends: r-cran-matrix (>= 1.6-2)
...however this is not correct, because dpkg considers r-cran-matrix
1.6-1.1-1 in testing to meet that requirement, and the tests still
fail with that version.

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.6-1.1-1 ge 1.6-2 && echo True
True

Please change that to:
Depends: r-cran-matrix (>= 1.6-2-1)
... and re-upload, because dpkg considers 1.6-2 to be upstream version
1.6 and Debian revision 2, whereas we need upstream version 1.6-2 and
Debian revision 1.

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.6-1.1-1 ge 1.6-2-1 && echo True
<no output>

Graham
