---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the roxygen2 version is recorded in a single place in DESCRIPTION (i.e.
the {{RoxygenNote:}} field). I don't think CRAN checks parse that field and
check what version of roxygen2 is available. If there is a mismatch in versions
between the developer's local environment and DESCRIPTION {{devtools::check()}}
with not re-document. Running {{devtools::document()}} in the same scenario
will overwrite the {{RoxygenNote}} field.
We could use multiple "Config/Needs/..." fields and then install all
dependencies with a single call to {{{}remotes::install_deps(){}}}.
{code:r}
install_deps(".", dependencies = c("soft", "Config/Needs/website",
"Config/Needs/dev"))
{code}
, where {{"soft"}} is the equivalent of {{{}TRUE{}}}.
I think if someone has the development version of roxygen2 installed and they
attempt to install dependencies, {{remotes}} will compare shas and will suggest
and upgrade even if the version number is the same.

> Recent updates to the remotes package mean that additional fields can be
> added to a package's DESCRIPTION and remotes functions can take the field as
> a parameter and install these additional dependencies:
> https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/master/NEWS.md#new-functions-and-features
> We could update DESCRIPTION to use these fields and update the docs to use
> this functionality of remotes instead of having separate references to
> packages to install.
