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.

What’s the best place to watch for those changes making it to release?  Is there a PR I can pay attention to?
