Thanks for the feedback Alex! We could always use a higher priority, but the reason I was hesitant to do that is because I'd still want old versions in the local repo to be superseded by newer versions in the archive/ppas. For instance, if someone is working on a patch for a package with version, say, `1.3-1ubuntu0.2` and they accidentally "increment" it to `1.3-1ubuntu0.1+ppa...` or something of the like, the new version would not supersede the old one. This would likely be an error on the part of the user working on the update, and I'd like this conflict to become apparent in order to prevent errors when releasing (security) updates, since version numbers can be somewhat tricky at times.
