Step back and realize that your total R installation (including all packages) is already much bigger than the single package. And derives value from all those packages. So I would use importForm(plotrix, listDepth) in my package's NAMESPACE, and add the Imports: in the DESCRIPTION. IMHO that is the right way to do it rather than creating _stale_ and (even worse) _disconnected_ copies which will never receive updates or fixes from the _original author_ of that code.
