Heard from upstream, they did take the patch from you that I forwarded; the issue really seems to be that I did not set LIBR_LDFLAGS to 'nothing' in debian/rules. Do we care about other distro / other uses figuring out to set LIBR_LDFLAGS that way? So far it really only seems to matter for 26.04 (and we will get a new binary to CRAN 'shortly').
