R packages are supposed to include math/R/Makefile.extension, which defines MASTER_SITES.  It turns out that a number of R packages overrode MASTER_SITES when they should not.  (Other than wip, I believe that two do override it correctly, because their distfiles are in unusual places; the rest are now fixed.)

It would be really helpful if pkglint could at least warn if a package includes math/R/Makefile.extension and also overrides MASTER_SITES.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Brook
