Well, unless/until we change the implementation, I think the rpy
package really must match the exact version*s* of R it was compiled
againts.
Note, however, that RPy is designed so that one can compile against
several version of R so that a single package can support multiple R
versions.

I tried that for a while but discontinued because it can lead to
upgrade blocks just because a particular hardware platform doesn't yet
have its rpy version.
So 'in theory, yes; in practice, didn't work', at least when I tried.
For the r-cran-* packages, I settled on using a Depends on '>=' the R
version I built with. Would that be a possibility here? Or do you
think you really need the equality?
