install.packages() doesn't install suggested packages by default: the
`dependencies` argument defaults to NA, which means c("Depends",
"Imports", "LinkingTo"), which doesn't include 'Suggests'.
What if you pass dependencies = TRUE? Given the fact that Bioconductor
is absent from getOption('repos') by default, the package will still
not be installed. BiocManager::install() is the supported way to
install packages from Bioconductor:
https://cran.r-project.org/package=BiocManager/vignettes/BiocManager.html#installing-bioconductor-cran-or-github-packages
I think that BiocManager::install('YOUR_PACKAGE', dependencies = TRUE)
will install both your package and limma. It's a bit hard to verify
because your package should live in a repository, but if you'd like to
be sure, spin up a drat <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=drat> repo
on a local server and add it to options(repos = ...) before trying to
install your package.

No, this is the right way to declare Bioconductor dependencies for CRAN
packages.

The CRAN website will detect the Bioconductor dependency and highlight
it with a different colour, making it a link to the Bioconductor
website. See, e.g., the BiocManager package and its reverse
dependencies: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BiocManager
