Two packages got recently removed from the blacklist [1], which makes me 
wonder: is there any established process of removal of such packages from 
[libre] repo?

At this moment, when I issue, for example:

# pacman -Syu kio-extras

It tries to install libre/kio-extras. The newer version of this package from 
[extra] can be installed by:

# pacman -Syu extra/kio-extras

But on subsequent system upgrades pacman returns a warning, that the local 
package is newer than in libre.

As I understand, since [libre] is higher in pacman.conf, the package from it 
has higher priority. This can be problematic in case if it's available in both 
[libre] and Arch repo, and is a dependency of another package being installed 
(dolphin depends on kio-extras). Then it's not convenient to get the most 
recent version of the dependency installed from Arch repo. Something like this 
is needed to be done instead of just the latter command:

# pacman -S extra/kio-extras --asdeps
# pacman -S dolphin
