Bug#897418: dh-r: dh-update-R should not remove non-R Build-Depends like libboost-dev

[Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org>]

Package: dh-r
Severity: important

Hi,

I was running dh-update-R on r-bioc-rbgl.  This had the effect of
removing the Build-Depends libboost-dev (which is used instead of BH).
Since there might be other Build-Depends needed that are hard to detect
by dh-update-R IMHO the best way to deal with this is to keep all those
Build-Depends that are not matching '^r-(cran|bioc)-.+' pattern in the
name.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
