Good catch. I was just nudged recently to update one old debian/rules (that
for historical reason under a more complicated package setup was
'complicated' and stuck at cdbs) so there should be no R package using
this. They all use dh-r.
I just commented the lines in my debian/rules for r-base (source package)
out. This will be gone next upload.

No objections from our end.
Thanks for catching this!
