This is just a workaround. To keep the system up to date this way, you
would need to 'zypper up' + 'zypper in all-these-special-rpms'. The goal
is to do this with just 'up' (add the repo with the package, but tell
zypp to consider only that package (and deps) for update from that repo
- - so that 'zypper up' does not update also other unwanted packages from
that repo).
