Hello Francesco,
To expand on lluis reply:
packages not on CRAN or Bioconductor are not allowed and strictly enforced on
Bioconductor systems so please keep this in mind but agree that it is general
practice to put these types of packages in Suggest.

Hi Francesco,
You reached the right list.
Congratulations on getting this far, it is not always easy to fix all the R
CMD checks and BiocChecks.
If these packages are optional, they should be used conditionally:
if (requireNamespace("pkg", quietly = TRUE)) {
pkg::optional_function(...)
}
And be listed on the Suggested field of the DESCRIPTION file.
For more information read the Writing R Extensions section 1.1.3.1

However, note that depending on packages not on CRAN is usually not
recommended as the quality and availability is not known by R and
Bioconductor processes.
Best wishes,
Llu�s
