This would be helpful. I would just reemphasize that a package that includes some AGPL code and some GPL3 code is standard as far as the FSF is concerned, e.g. from section 13 of the AGPL: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License." So, I think that CRAN should at least have a canonical spec that covers *this* situation. Other situations may be more complicated to handle elegantly.
