The request was actually a bit different because Charles and me
suggested to base the constraint rather on the R upstream version than
the Debian package version because it adds an extra and at least from my
perspective unnecessary restriction to the Dependencies but from my
perspective it is acceptable and enables to use our existing
debian/control files unchanged. Charles, am I right with this statement?
In any case I would like to know whether you found some flaw in the
arguing given by Charles to enable me understanding your reasons behind.

I did two successful tests.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on R

PS: What about maintaining R in a Vcs to simplify exchanging files like
this by other means than mail?
