makes sense... its only that we depend on us as packagers to keep this 
logic running. i was thinking aobut making it better in the thing 
itself, but the only thing i can think of is making a "favourity" 
flag for each package, if there is alternative, that pacman should 
take the one with the highest favourity index. ... not very 
sofisticated, i know :)

thanx + greetings,
