You have these packages listed in your Imports field so they will be
automatically installed by the Single Package Builder on the 3 build
machines if they are not already present.

I don't see this when I run Rbiocdev CMD BiocCheck DASC_0.1.1.tar.gz.
Have you addressed this already? Please note that the way to specify
the type in base::norm() is with a 1-letter *string* ("O", "I", "F",
"M", or "2"). This has nothing to do with the use of F (unquoted) for
specifying the single logical value FALSE.

Man pages for data sets need a \format section instead of a \value
section. If you have one, and R CMD BiocCheck still complains about
the lack of a \value section, please ignore the warning.

Hope this helps,
