Is it possible to work around this?

The first "base" group is from [testing] and the second is from [core]. I seem to recall seeing this discussed a long time ago but can't find it anywhere so I wanted to ask before I potentially wasted time looking into it.

Just for clarification, you would like each group to be printed just once, mixing packages from every sync databases, right?

Yes, I think that would be more sensible.
