Issues when using package external data as internal

[GitHunter0]

In R packages, it is possible to use external data as internal data (i.e. use data exported by my package in my own package functions). This can be done by this syntax my_package::my_external_data (see link below):
https://coolbutuseless.github.io/2018/12/10/r-packages-internal-and-external-data/

However, in doing that, sinew interprets that my_package is a third-party package, then adds it on DESCRIPTION "Imports" and on Roxygen comments (@Importfrom my_package my_external_data), which leads to circular references and errors from CMD Check.

The solution I believe is to simply program to add nothing when the name of the package is the same of the package you are creating.

Thank you.
