This is also explained in 'Writing R Extensions'. Packages on "non-mainstream repos" (ie CRAN, BioC) can only be used in Suggests: which means you need to condition access to them with a test. All very doable, and Brooke and I once spelled it out in sufficient detail for the use case of data packages. Code packages really are the same. See https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-026/index.html for more, including how to make code in your vignette conditional and more.
