Yeah, I can think of cases where the current selection rules would =
result in breakage without significant manual intervention.    For one =
thing, it would be beneficial if, for any package that has dependencies, =
pkg preferred getting the dependencies from the same repo as the =
original package, regardless of any other ordering rules.

 Is there a PR I can pay attention to?
