[R-sig-Debian] Docker build issue

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi Dave and Dirk,

sorry, I do not understand half of this, as I do not use docker myself. Buf if 
Dirk does not use Debian buster as the basis for his Rocker container, then 
you should probably not try to install the backport to buster. Shouldn't these 
docker containers be there to avoid the need to install R?
