R devel - Mar 2013 - preparing for R 3.0.0

I am preparing my package for the release of R 3.0.0 and thinking about the
suggestion (from Duncan Murdoch) to maintain two versions of the package
temporarily. Since my package contains knitr-compiled vignettes, I need to
restrict it to 3.0.0 going forward. I'd like to submit a final version for
2.x that will not be updated but compiles the vignettes in the old manner; and a
version for 3.x. My thought is that they will have the same version number, with
the only difference being how the vignette is compiled and the DESCRIPTION
files.

Is it possible that they have the same version number; or, should I send two
updates simultaneously with successive version numbers, flagging one as
restricted to R >3.0.0?

Thanks,
Richard

The one for R >= 3.0.0 should have a larger version number and goes into 
a separate part of the repository (and moved to the main part once 
R-3.0.0 is released), the other one should have a dependency on R < 3.0.0.
