Re-read and re-think what you wrote there: you expect the r-base-dev package
to provide _all_ possible dependencies for _all_ possible packages. The
Oracle of Delphi in a few lines of a meta file?
That obviously can't work. r-base-dev tries to give you all you need to
compile the _most common_ packages by providing essentially what R itself
needs. Specialised packages that use other, more arcane libraries and
headers such as OpenGL are obviously not included.
Lastly, I can only urge users of Debian and Ubuntu to remember that because
we have _native_ packages on Debian and Ubuntu, we also have _native_
Build-Depends information. Had you tried
$ sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-rgl
you might have gotten to the finish line much quicker.
