R CMD check does complain and I had to add \alias{maxClique} in an .Rd file (I
did it this way to prevent downstream packages from failing).

I don't think it's a bug -- including all imports would usually bring in way
too much.
In general re-exporting is probably not such a great idea since the help system
isn't aware of the import/export chain. I don't know if R CMD check complains
if you don't provide your own help page; if it doesn't it probably should. I
also don't recall if we have a mechanism for such a help page on an
import/export to just link to the real page.
Best,
luke
