Although I understand your emotions, this isn't really constructive in Debian. *Your* package lme4 isn't migrating to testing due to these regressions. If you want your package in buster, it is better to at least communicate with your reverse dependencies with regressing autopkgtests. > The relevant page for me is > > https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_lme4.html Well, for me it is https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=lme4 and your package will not migrate if it remains like that. > The package has MANY reverse dependencies but I am responsible for > those. Talk to _their_ maintainers. Thanks for your understandind. I do talk to their maintainers by filing this bug report against your package and their package at the same time. Without inside knowledge of the r stack I can't judge the situation and I can only assume that you may have to discuss together how to resolve this issue. Me understanding you isn't going to have your package migrate, fixing the regression is. Paul PS: due to the tone of your response, it took me some days to reply.
