Comment(by duncan):
Yes, "self" internal dependencies are allowed. They are currently treated
as internal dependencies if the package version falls in the build-depends
version range.
If it falls outside the range it's treated as external (e.g. so base-3 can
depend on base-4). This current semantics isn't very satisfactory imho, I
think we need some other mechanism to select other versions of the same
package (and multiple versions of the same package).
