Disclaimer: I don't know anything about R or the R packaging.
Isn't it possible to use some virtual r-abi-WHATEVER package(s) to make
such transitions easier to spot and manage in the future? S.t. it can be
described in a ben file instead of manually compiling a list of binNMUs.
(Ideally such a thing should be in place before performing a "last
round" of manual binNMUs).
