There are no such plans for migration. There are longer-term plans to replace all non-R scripts with R scripts. If and when that happens remains to be seen. In the meantime, we are talking about miniscule amounts of non-core libraries making this a distracting non-issue. So I will close this. R itself, under the configuration I have been providing for years, makes uses of all available _binary_ libraries in Debian (see below). This is available via configure; swapping out minor Perl libraries is not option and I am not in favour of forking this.
