I think it's important to have an easy way to see the repository a
package comes from, esp for third-party repos. I found myself several
times in the past where I couldn't see what upgrade will be going on
when I click go, eg openoffice upgrade to the official suse one, the
semi-official latest stable one, or the broken^H^H^Hexperimental one.
When adding KDE repos for testing things get more complicated. I find
the repo source to be as important as the package version.

There should be a way to show this without making the list any wider.
Perhaps under a header, the header showing the repo, than the package
list for that repo, then the next header for the next repo? A bit like
the grouping of package selection in yast, the one with the orange/black
scheme.
