Please see #711808 -- it is the exact same issue.

This is an R package, and some R packages contain additional sources because
R cannot make the same assumptions about deployment as Debian can within a 
distro,

I am effectively upstream for this. I am aware of the issue but I do not
think we can fix it the Debian way.  I am also rather involved in R, and we
currently do seems to be the best way.

Why not just symlink /usr/include/Eigen3?

As the R upstream (co-)author/maintainer, it is more important to me to have
a guaranteed consistent behaviour across installations of RcppEigen.

Do you know, that this is a violation of Policy 4.13? From my point of view
you must strip convenience copy of eigen3 for Debian-package and use
packaged version if it is technically possible. CC-ing FTP-masters for
clarification.

As I told you in my first reply, yes, as it is the same for RcppArmadillo.
The Armadillo maintainer asked me too, for the same reason, and I explained
and he agreed to keep things they are.

I understand the intent the of the Policy, but I am upstream here. And in
these cases it is not a random small library as part of a larger package. For
RcppArmadillo and RcppEigen the content of the headers is essentially the
package, so I prefer to have them the way I have them packaged. 

Thanks,  Dirk
