I do not know for r-bioc-netsam, but for r-bioc-org.hs.eg.db and similar packages, it is because it is an "annotation package" made of data and therefore not managed the same way as the other Bioconductor packages. This is why it DESCRIPTION file does not mention its Bioconductor Git branch. This is also why its version number matches the Bioconductor release number. Also, its homepage resolves to https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/annotation/html/org.Hs.eg.db.html while for regular packages there is no data/annotation/html in the URL. I think that it does not have to depend on the bioc api pseudo-package. I hope it helps, Charles
