If you use specific versions in the package.keywords file (i.e. do
"=category/package-version-revision ~arch" instead of
"category/package ~arch", this doesn't happen. You just need to watch
for downgrades in case a ~arch version is removed without ever going
stable, and every so often go through it looking for package versions
that have been superseded.
