I think the intent there is that if you virtually always need a package to generate the input or analyze the output of a documented function, it should be in Depends. If it's a package that is only useful for demonstration, it should be in Suggests, and one should abide by the same guidelines (requireNamespace, etc) as Martin contributed.
I adjusted the wording a bit. I was also quite disturbed to find how similar my Suggests illustration is to the advice in Writing R Extensions, RShowDoc('R-exts'), section 1.1.3.1.
