many packages of the gnu-r section use a one-liner CDBS debian/rules

This will then include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk, but
since lintian does not see it in debian/rules, it throws an error of
the ‘build-depends-without-arch-dep’ type for debhelper, cdbs, and
r-base-dev (that provides /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk).
At the risk of asking a silly question: isn't that addressed by
Build-Depends vs Build-Depends-Indep?
No. If the package is required to run the clean target (which I assume at
least cdbs and debhelper are in this case), then it must be listed in
Build-Depends, even if the package only produces arch-indep packages - see
Policy 7.7.
