it's better to amend the NAMESPACE to include

   importFrom(AnnotationDbi, select)

The codetoolsBioC package (available from the Bioconductor svn repository) 
suggests (this is not completely reliable) that there might be other namaespace 
import issues. (some would argue for less selective import, because the code is 
then easier to maintain, e.g., import(BiocGenerics), etc).
