Description

@noamross

Packages on CRAN can have BioConductor dependencies but they need the empty field biocViews: in their DESCRIPTION for installation to work properly. This is under-documented around the web so it will be useful to put it in the packaging guide as another way to find it.

The above is wrong but we should note the best way for packages to rely on BioConductor pacakges.
