** Description changed:

  Please sync r-base 3.4.1.20170921-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main)
  
  Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
  While 3.4.1.20170921-1 is a release candidate of the upcoming 3.4.2 bugfix 
release, the Debian packaging includes a change from providing 'r-api-3' to 
'r-api-3.4'.  This will require no-change rebuilds of just about every R 
package.  This is due to an R ABI break that affects an unknown number of 
packages already in Ubuntu (see Debian #861333).
  
- Ben for the transition from Sébastien Villemot:
+ Ben file for the transition from Sébastien Villemot already pushed to bazaar:
+ 
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-transition-trackers/ubuntu-transition-tracker/configs/view/head:/monitor/planned/r-api.ben
  
  title = "r-api-3.4";
  is_affected = .depends ~ /r-api-3(\.4)?/;
  is_good = .depends ~ /r-api-3\.4/;
  is_bad = .depends ~ /r-api-3\b/;
  
+ I count 516 packages that reverse-depend on src:r-base and will require
+ rebuilding.  None are in main or restricted and none are seeded.
+ 
+ I have local access to an Ubuntu mirror during the day and will be able
+ to take care of uploading the no-change rebuilds.
+ 
+ During May 2017, after R 3.4.0-1 autosync'd, I uploaded 20 no-change
+ rebuilds and autopkgtest fixes to Ubuntu and a similar number of new
+ upstream versions directly into Debian in order to complete its
+ migration.
