I didn't find any RC bugs filed against any of these packages that
would prevent them from migrating straight back to testing after
removal.

Looking at the excuses page you linked to above, only r-cran-bit64,
r-cran-freetypeharfbuzz and r-cran-grimport are blocking the migration
of r-base, the remainder have "failure will be ignored".

I have filed bugs for r-cran-bit64 [1], r-cran-freetypeharfbuzz [2]
and r-cran-grimport [3].

I have added removal hints for r-cran-freetypeharfbuzz and r-cran-grimport.

That cannot remove more packages.  The reverse-dependencies of
cran-bit64 would need to be calculated and manually removed.

In the meantime, I've added a hint to allow r-base to migrate
regardless.  We can allow r-cran-bit64 to regress on i386 and it now
has an RC bug filed against it.  I don't think any further action is
required here, but I'll confirm that r-base has migrated before
closing.

Graham
