I've moved nlme from Depends to Imports in my coxme package. However, a

  If I use  data(nlme::ergoStool)  the data is not found,
data(nlme:::ergoStool) does no better.
  If I add importFrom(nlme, "ergoStool") the error message is that
ergoStool is not exported.

There likely is a simple way, but I currently don't see it.

There were some off-the-mark suggestions in this thread. If you just want a dataset from a package, use

data("ergoStool", package = "nlme")

In particular, it is somewhat wasteful to load a large namespace like nlme when it is not needed.
