I think the question about priority was asked because:
When installing eln by "upgrading" from rawhide, you hardly want to go
package by package, but instead want to do a single command to install
everything that can be installed. That's the first time where you want
eln packages to have priority.

But then rawhide moves on, and some eln packages fail to build. Then
you still want to keep the eln stuff (and not revert to to the rawhide
versions of everything), but install the rawhide versions if that is
the only way to satisfy dependencies.

So this question is how to set up inheritance and priorities to get a
workable system like that. (Or maybe it's supposed to work in a
different way?)
