I may be missing something here but aren't you overcomplicating things? One
can avoid the repetitive dialog by setting options(repos) accordingly,
and I have long done so. The Debian (and hence Ubuntu and other derivatives)
package does so via the Rprofile.site I ship. See e.g. here
https://sources.debian.org/src/r-base/4.2.1-2/debian/Rprofile.site/
I have used the same mechanism to point to intra-company repositories, easily
a decade or so ago. I had no problems with R CMD check of in-house packages
using this.
