C/R/P is not functionally equivalent to the effects of C/R and P 
together...the triplet has a specific different meaning than its 
components suggest. And it's technically completely broken to use the 
triplet when the package-name was ever actually a real package. 

P is also functionally broken as a substitute for a real package when 
any other package anywhere ever had a versioned dependency on it. 

This sounds like the exact situation for which fink-obsolete-packages 
is documented to be used.
