The help page of .First.lib in rw2000dev, downloaded a few hours ago, contains:

Packages that require other packages:

    The source code for a package that requires one or more other
    packages should have a call to 'require', preferably near the
    beginning of the source, and of course before any code that uses
    functions, classes or methods from the other package.  The default
    for argument 'save' will save the names of all required packages
    in the environment of the new package.  The saved package names
    are used by 'detach' when a package is detached to warn if other
    packages still require the detached package.  Also, if a package
    is installed with saved image (see INSTALL), the saved package
    names are used to require these packages when the new package is
    attached.

which is contradicted, by the information on the page
http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt

which bans require etc.
