Severity: normal

Hello,

since debhelper compatibility level 9 some automatic test is approached
if upstream provides some tests suite in a default way.  You can also
add overrides to adapt to specific upstream way to run a test suite.

Since for building R packages cdbs is used this is not done
automatically.  So I tried to find out a way how this can be done also
with cdbs[1] but I did not got any response.

Since I think we should really try to test packages
  * before uploaded
  * when beeing autobuilded
I consider running the test suite as very important.  Please try to
provide a method in

  /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk

which does the testing or consider switching the build system for R
packages to dh which has quite transparent features for testing.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining r-base-dev

       Andreas.
