I propose two solutions:

Simon PJ just came up with a suggestion for the second part. The
idea is this:
If we see a dependency like "base >= 3" with no upper limit, we
should satisfy it with base-3 in preference to base-4, on the
grounds that the package is much more likely to build with base-3.
This seems to be a solution that works without any magic shims or
"preference files" or anything else.
Choose the lowest available version that satisfies all of the
constraints?
