So I tried that -- and I cannot currently tickle the bug: -- r-cran-spatial (from the initial bug report) was long rebuilt by me -- r-cran-logspline (which you mentioned) is actually no longer on my refined (shorter) list, no issues there
-- r-cran-data.table (on my list) is a false positive, the one grep() find is actually in commented-out code (but hey, the maintainer is a slacker too as the package had two updates not reflected yet...) -- r-cran-rcurl just works too, there is one .C() call in getCurlInfo() and it all passes as well. In short I can NOT currently reproduce the issue on Debian unstable. So this may be a huge nothingburger (and another reason not to enforce an API-tag rebuild over 500+ packages).
