[Bioc-devel] check failure: prerequisit package does not use NAMESPACE

If there's a way to work around it, I haven't been able to find it.
Here's what happens if rJava is in the DESCRIPTION 

  Depends: R (>= 2.4.0), rJava (>= 0.4), graph (>= 1.11.5)

but not in the NAMESPACE

   import(graph)

   * checking whether the name space can be loaded with stated dependencies ... WARNING

   A namespace must be able to be loaded with just the base namespace loaded:
   otherwise if the namespace gets loaded by a saved object, the session will
   be unable to start.
   
   Probably some imports need to be declared in the NAMESPACE file.

Sorry for all this fuss...
