I see this is guideline 7 at
https://bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/

I have used LazyData: TRUE so that [pkgname]::[entity] can be used instead
of data().  The
claim that it is "rarely a good thing" and slows down package loading can
be weighed against
convenience.  I am not sure you should use LazyData to avoid a
documentation warning
however.  Can you give more details on what package is generating the
warning?
