Is this agreement that we need the r-graphics-api-* feature? I'm not
sure what you want to express with this statement.

Thanks for the hint. While this is probably helpful it needs extra
Build-Depends. Thus I have choosen the CPP method suggested by Paul
Wise in my patch. Did you found some time to evaluate the patch?
I admit I'd love to do the BioC transition but this effort seems not
sensible before the graphics ABI transition is finished. It would be
great to know if and when you plan to apply the patch and upload to
unstable.
Kind regards
Andreas.
