I'd like that too.
I am not sure if this is the same bug or a new one, so please give me
your opinion and I will file another bug if necessary:
I am tracking feisty and debian unstable, I just want a few packages
from the latter, so I set it with a priority of -1, but my installed
packages (priority 100) are shown unlinked from the repository that they
were supposedly installed, for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ apt-cache policy antiword
antiword:
Installed: 0.37-2
Candidate: 0.37-2
Version table:
0.37-2 0
-1 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
0.37-2 0
990 http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages
*** 0.37-2 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
This causes apt to repeatedly install this package when performing an
upgrade, which is -to say the least- not the expected behavior.
I know the reinstall of the package might be caused because of the lack
of the source of installation in /var/lib/dpkg/status, but shouldn't a
priority of -1 at least make apt refuse to install from that repository?
Thanks.

APT shows same-version packages as upgradable when the packages are the same
version but are different (e.g. one from debian, one from ubuntu)
