tbf, i personally think the best solution is actually to make it so that urpmi --update --auto-select works the same way as urpmq --update --auto- select, so that this can be also fixes for commandline usage when not using the mgaapplet. thus: updating with --update should use dependencies from all media. this is imho the cleanest way.
