[R-pkg-devel] DESCRIPTION file Imports of base R packages

Jan Gorecki 
Hello,

I noticed some packages define Imports in DESCRIPTION file listing base R
packages like methods, utils, etc.

My question is that if it is necessary to list those* dependencies in
DESCRIPTION file, or is it enough to have them listed in NAMESPACE file?

* by "those" I mean packages listed by:

in tools:::.get_standard_package_names()$base
