Since there was no 'rstudio' at the time that user uploaded this one,
there is no infringement of any rule or guideline per se. Just tell
them to upload an 'r-studio' to mitigate the confusion that resulted
from it. I don't think there is any need to merge unless there were
relevant comments. It is up to the maintainer to update the PKGBUILD
with the suggested changes.
