You can also use a self-reference here:

import 'package:analysis_server/src/channel.dart';

There's no real semantic difference.

That does seem somewhat cleaner, though. What's the prefered style for imports
such as

import 'protocol.dart';

(such as the one in channel.dart)? Should it be

import 'package:analysis_server/src/protocol.dart';

Done.

Within lib, I've only ever used relative file references. When referencing into
lib (from test, bin, web, ...) I generally use self references.
