No, its since you are using a differnt source package name than the binary package. In file https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/blob/master/dh/R.pm 148 open(my $svs, ">>", "debian/$sourcepackage.substvars"); the substvars are moved to debian/$sourcepackage.substvars which is just wrong. Niels, I'm not a Perl programmer and to lazy to dive into the debhelper module. Could you please point me to the way how to use the mainbinarypackage name there (usually R packages have only one binary package - so the first binary package name will solve the issue.
