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).
