Public bug reported:

Please sync r-base 3.4.1.20170921-1 (universe) from Debian unstable
(main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
While 3.4.1.20170921-1 is a release candidate of the upcoming 3.4.2 bugfix 
release, the Debian packaging includes a change from providing 'r-api-3' to 
'r-api-3.4'.  This will require no-change rebuilds of just about every R 
package.  This is due to an R ABI break that affects an unknown number of 
packages already in Ubuntu (see Debian #861333).

Ben for the transition from Sébastien Villemot:

title = "r-api-3.4";
is_affected = .depends ~ /r-api-3(\.4)?/;
is_good = .depends ~ /r-api-3\.4/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /r-api-3\b/;

Changelog entries since current artful version 3.4.1-2:

r-base (3.4.1.20170921-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Initial rc build (r73337) of R 3.4.2 expected for Sep 28

  * debian/control: Package r-base-core now 'Provides: r-api-3.4' per the
    Debian Release team. I still consider this to be wrong (as there was
    no API change) but my hands are tied here.

  * debian/compat: Increased to 9
  * debian/control: Set Standards-Version: to current version 

  * debian/README.source: Added
