[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#661200: Bug#661200: r-cran-vegan should Depends: r-cran-lattice

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Charles,

in case you upload this package please verify the newly uploaded

   r-base-dev version 2.14.2~20120222

which included our proposed patch.  However, when looking now, the
prepending tilde is missing and we might need to convince Dirk for
another change.  Could you please verify this?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
