Hm, sounds like you may have found a bug in Depends being too loose...

Just for the record, did you take r-cran-mgcv and r-cran-matrix from Debian
or did you mix and match with direct CRAN installations?

Should happen in two days once the usual 'ten day minimum' is reached (and no
important bugs are open, or build issue arose) as per 

	http://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=r-base

So all should be well.
