\n characters in get_deps() output

[wch]

It looks like there are some >=\n sequences that get included in the package name, when the >= should be part of the version. This is what I see:

> desc(package="shiny")$get_deps()

I don't know if it matters, but I'm using a version of Shiny installed with devtools::install_github:

Description: Makes it incredibly easy to build interactive web applications with
         R. Automatic "reactive" binding between inputs and outputs and
         extensive prebuilt widgets make it possible to build beautiful,
         responsive, and powerful applications with minimal effort.
