Seeking advise how to proceed with the transition / move R stack to testing (Was: Bug#1040001: transition: r-base)

After rebuilding quite some packages with
autopkgtest failure with r-base (4.3.1-1)
it came to my mind (probably to late) that since we do not have any real
transition those uploads will probably not help very much since these
are not generated with dependencies that are conflicting with the
versions in testing and thus the autopkgtests running against packages
in testing will keep on failing. Is there any chance to fix this via
hinting by release team or should I rather add some "artificial" versioned
Depends just to enable the whole set of r-cran-* packages to testing.
I'm also wondering whether I should upload the old r-bioc-* packages to
finally get the full R stack fit for testing before I'll start the
next BioC transition. Alternatively it would probably OK to remove all
RC buggy r-bioc-* packages from testing since we need to upload new
versions of these packages anyway in the pending BioC transition (I'll
file an according bug report soon).
Kind regards
Andreas.
