> Recent updates to the remotes package mean that additional fields can be added to a package's DESCRIPTION and remotes functions can take the field as a parameter and install these additional dependencies: https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/master/NEWS.md#new-functions-and-features
> We could update DESCRIPTION to use these fields and update the docs to use this functionality of remotes instead of having separate references to packages to install.
