I'm ok with obsoleteing the old and migrating to the new convention.
You may apply fink-obsolete-packages to the R package with my name on it.

C/R/P is not functionally equivalent to the effects of C/R and P
together...the triplet has a specific different meaning than its components
suggest. And it's technically completely broken to use the triplet when the
package-name was ever actually a real package.
P is also functionally broken as a substitute for a real package when any
other package anywhere ever had a versioned dependency on it.
This sounds like the exact situation for which fink-obsolete-packages is
documented to be used.
