Am I correct in thinking that the ‘SystemRequirements’ field in a

No.
Where can I find more details? The section "The DESCRIPTION file" in
"Writing R Extensions" says only:
Other dependencies (external to the R system) should be listed in
the ‘SystemRequirements’ field, possibly amplified in a separate
README file.
Thanks,
