I think it's important that it works with the older version of R that is provided by apt on 16LTS systems

This is not really possible because bioconductor packages need to be submitted on the latest R version

Follow the release cycle of Bioconductor

There are two releases each year, around April and October. The release schedule will indicate the timetables and deadlines for each release. A release cycle typically produces two versions of packages, ‘devel’ and ‘release’. It is important to be familiar with these branch concepts. Once your package has been accepted, it will initially be in the ‘devel’ branch. The current devel branch becomes the next release. Most users are expected to use the release branch, so they will not immediately have access to your package until the next release. Bug fixes can be fixed in both branches, while new features should only be added to the ‘devel’ branch.
