For starters I think "r-base-api-3.0" is a misnomer. R is currently at release 3.2. And all versions of R 3.* use the same API as this release once again showed.

I won't stand in the way, but I won't push this issue either as I (still) don't fully believe in its need or merit. But I will probably consider patches. So if you or someone else wants to drive this this, send me (ideally also somewhat tested) patches.
