From the log and the public headers of the package, it does look like
the libraries shipped by jags break ABI on a rebuild with the new
libstdc++.  However, instead of being properly split out as required by
policy, the libraries are shipped as part of the 'jags' binary package,
which makes this a bit of a pain.  I guess what needs to happen now is
- split the libraries out to separate binary packages
- add Breaks on r-cran-rjags (<< 1:3-15-1) (thankfully the only reverse 
dependency)
- rebuild r-cran-rjags

Cheers,
Julien
