I would say on/off is sufficient, history shows that all that nobody 
misses configurability when we remove the options later.

Anyway, if you look at zypp.conf and ZConfig, try to find appropiate 
namespaces so the options remain same:

There is already a download namespace ie: download.use_patchrpm

So:
download.keep or something is ok.

I think configuring per protocol is useless, but you can have that value 
to true false or "remote-only".

I case you want to do it per repo, you would need to extend repoinfo 
class and its reader. But how do you make a difference between "not set" 
and "default" so you know if override the global?
