[R-pkg-devel] Add SystemRequirements of imported package in description file?

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Dominik,

IMHO you only need to list "first order" dependencies: things that your
package directly uses. Listing higher order dependencies would be redundant
as they are listed in the packages that have them as first order dependency.
