OK. You're free to do as you wish, or as R developers wish. But that
fail to comply with the FHS. And the FHS is part of the Debian Policy.
So this is a policy violation, and is of serious severity.

I don't think neither you nor me have the right to downgrade such a bug.
If there already was a discussion on debian-devel I was not aware of,
that raised a consensus about R not being compliant with the FHS, just
downgrade it back, but I didn't find any, with Google.

> 6)  I disagree with your assessment of the bug severity. 

Quoting the Debian Policy version 3.6.1.1:

  ``9.1.1 Filesystem Structure

  The location of all installed files and directories must comply with
  the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), version 2.1, except where
  doing so would violate other terms of Debian Policy.''

Firmly,
