Haven't tested, but seems it would not be *too* hard to trace
through the code to see what's happening in the package-building
process. Two thoughts:
(1) as a workaround, could you use a URL-shortener such as tinyurl?
tinyurl allows you to specify a somewhat meaningful name for the
shortened URL, e.g. http://tinyurl.com/reproducible-000
(2) this feels like it is more suitable for r-de...@r-project.org
