Yes, the R project suggests projects to only submit a LICENSE file with
the two attribution lines for year and copyright holder, and set the
“License” field in the DESCRIPTION file as “MIT + file LICENSE”.

PS: I still need to update the importer to select the Expat license by
default when it encounters “MIT + file LICENSE” in the DESCRIPTION file.
