Yes, but without this package they won't be able to run the majority
of examples, which I think delivers a poor experience to the user.

The Writing R Extensions manual says that Suggests is for packages which
are required only for examples, which I believe matches Hadley's original
question.
In the Bayesian case, it seems like including one prior's worth of data in
the package but having the infrastructure designed so that other d

Hi all,
What should you do when you rely on a data only package. If you just
"Depend" on it, you get the following from R CMD check:

I don't know about this particular case, but in general it makes sense
to rely on a data package. E.g. I am creating a package that does
Bayesian inference for a particular problem, potentially relying on
prior knowledge. I think it makes sense to put the data that is used

Would "Suggests" not work in this situation? I don't understand why you
