`package_deps` returns `TRUE` and `"CRAN"` for columns `is_cran` and `remote` on made-up package #607

Tried this with remotes version 2.3.0.9000:

library(remotes)
foo <- package_deps('MadeUpPackage')
foo
#> Not on CRAN ----------------------------
#>  package      installed available is_cran remote
#>  MadeUpPac... NA        NA        TRUE    CRAN
colnames(foo)
#> [1] "package"   "installed" "available" "diff"      "is_cran"   "remote"

In addition, the columns is_cran and remote are absent from the Value section of the help page of package_deps().

The package you are trying to install is always included as assumed to be a CRAN package. I don't think it is worth fixing this.
