Hi Duncan,

You're reading the wrong version of the manual.  This is in the R-devel manual:

"Packages referred to by these ‘other forms’ should be declared in the DESCRIPTION file, in the ‘Depends’, ‘Imports’, ‘Suggests’ or ‘Enhances’ fields. "

This is at the end of section 2.5 in https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html.

I see. However, the HTML-source states
This manual is for R, version 4.1.0 Under development (2020-08-06).

I was relying on the PDF-version (4.0.2 of 2020-06-22) which does *not* contain this sentence. Hence, I fell into the trap. Should be stated in the PDF as well, IMHO.
