That's a bit strange. It fires for me in a local R CMD check for a test
package even without --as-cran. The code performing the check has been
in R since ~2010.

It's too late for Makevars to exclude files from the source package
tarball. Use .Rbuildignore instead:
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Building-binary-packages

I think that the line src/vendor/chrono/CITATION\\.cff will prevent the
file from appearing in the package tarball.
