PSA: R package test failures due to autodep8

[Simon Chopin]

Hello,

For your information, there's a bug[0] in the autodep8 implementation for R
packages that can generate wrong control metadata for the autopkgtest of
some R packages, see for instance [1]. So if you see weird failures with
test dependencies refusing to install, it might very well be because of
this.

Cheers,
Simon
