You need to edit DESCRIPTION (by hand). That is all that there is, and
_Writing R Extensions_ is fairly clear about this. Here is a quote from
Section 1.1.3
The ?Suggests? field uses the same syntax as ?Depends? and lists
packages that are not necessarily needed. This includes packages used
only in examples, tests or vignettes (*note Writing package
vignettes::), and packages loaded in the body of functions.
