Bug Description
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).
I count 516 packages that depend on src:r-base and will require rebuilding. None are in main or restricted and none are seeded.
Ben says 460 packages that depend on virtual package r-api-3:

I have local access to an Ubuntu mirror during the day and will be able to take care of uploading the no-change rebuilds.
During May 2017, after R 3.4.0-1 autosync'd, I uploaded 20 no-change rebuilds and autopkgtest fixes to Ubuntu and a similar number of new upstream versions directly into Debian in order to complete its migration.
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/
