There is a different field for this. From Section 1.1.1 of you-know-what:

     The `OS_type' field specifies the OS(es) for which the package is
  intended.  If present, it should be one of `unix' or `windows', and
  indicates that the package can only be installed on a platform with
  `.Platform$OS.type' having that value.
