This sounds like #961138. > I'd like to discuss this quickly whether I'm again on the wrong track. In my opinion, dh-r 20210301 with the commit [1] reverted should be OK for bullseye.

What about skipping pkg-r-autopkgtest on the few affected packages? We would lose a lot of test coverage if you disabled it everywhere. Let's hear opinions from the rest of the team.
