Yes, that is right, I raised that as ARROW-15299. I'm not 100% convinced I am
correct with that one, hence raised it as an investigation ticket (and not yet
a \\{remotes} GitHub issue).

> Key: ARROW-12743
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12743
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: R
> Reporter: Nicola Crane
> Assignee: Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 8.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 4h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Edit: Blocked by [a bug in
> \{remotes}|https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/issues/642] which results in
> second order dependencies of packages listed in {{Config/Needs?...}} not
> being installed.
> ====================
> 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.
