Research direction

Start by reproducing the Bioconductor software-dependency warning for a workflow package, then inspect the BiocCheck dependency-checking path and how BiocType is exposed. Done means workflow packages are not falsely warned about missing Bioconductor dependencies while packages that genuinely lack required dependencies still receive the appropriate warning.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Another warning that looks like a FP for a workflow is:

    * Checking for Bioconductor software dependencies...
    ! WARNING: No Bioconductor dependencies detected. Note that some infrastructure
    packages may not have Bioconductor dependencies. For more information, reach
    out to the Bioconductor community and/or consider a CRAN submission.

maybe workflows could be detected with BiocType during BiocCheck
