I probably should have just used "Suggests" and not bothered this list with this issue.
Why not use the \link{foo} form and let the HTML help system resolve
the link at run time? Is it considered bad form to use unqualified
links to help pages in other packages?
The problem is that \link{foo} cannot distinguish between
\link[a]{foo} and \link[b]{foo}. Using "Suggests" sounds to me more
like how how the R Core and CRAN teams probably think the system should
work.
But Duncan or someone else may think differently.
Thanks, Spencer
