is gh-action pkgdown setup-r-deps needs:website needed?

[7yl4r]

I am wondering what the following line from the pkgdown gh-action config does:

obisindicators/.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml

Line 29 in 0df4cd8

needs: website

Looking at the README for the relevant gh-action I think needs is supposed to specify a group of dependencies from the DESCRIPTION file. However: no website section exists in the DESCRIPTION.

If my assessment on this is correct then I would like to do the following:

1. add a needed_to_build_the_website section to the DESCRIPTION which specifies pandoc as a website-build requirement
2. rm the with:extra-packages:pandoc line from the gh-action.

I would like more R-experienced eyes on this before deleting that needs:website line though.
