I don't see the problem. Isn't there supposed to be an spkg-check script in the package? Of course, if the package is upgraded, spkg-check might need to be upgraded as well. But ultimately it shouldn't be the job of the R- interface to test the R-spkg. The interface should test itself, and the spkg should test itself.
