Correct. I realized that a few weeks ago when Lintian started to complain
about the cdbs Depends: in all my r-cran-* packages, not seeing it used in
the one line include.
So I already added this:
r-base (2.13.1-0) unstable; urgency=low
* (unreleased)
* debian/control: Add 'Depends: cdbs' to r-base-dev so that the r-cran-*
packages do not need to depend on it individually; it is also a
feature of the r-cran.mk script source from r-base-dev
but simply haven't rolled it up yet. It will come...

Yes.

Yes.
