I guess I was unclear. what I was asking is if it is, e.g., *required* for your vignette, e.g. to create a data structure that is then used by your functions.
That is a pretty standard use of Suggests, though obviously not the only one. My point was really that the package only being suggests is not sufficient information, by itself, to expect it to pass check with the suggests check turned off. There are types of valid suggests that would fail and types that would succeed in that case with the package not being present.
