Dear maintainer,

Starting with glibc 2.31, support for NIS (libnsl library) has been
moved to a separate libnsl2 package. In order to allow a smooth
transition, a libnsl-dev, which depends on libtirpc-dev, has been added
to the libc6-dev package.

The libnsl-dev dependency has been temporarily dropped in the 2.37-15.1
NMU, as part of the 64-bit time_t transition. This causes the xdr
feature of r-base to be dropped, I am not sure it is something to care
about.

Therefore please either:
- Add libtirpc-dev as build dependency
- Disable the xdr feature support explicitly so that it does not depend
  on the packages installed on the system.

Regards
Aurelien
