software managed: limited design of repo priority

I believe the introduced priority feature went to far. Previously (opensuse
10.3) I could manually select repo to use at the SM level. Per _each_ package.

Now it is globally decided, and despite (a bug) radio buttons which still exist
in "versions" tab, my choice is ignored.

IMHO all can be nicely done if priority it not used for getting packages but
used as presets for repos.

NOW:
repo A (0), repo B (100)

A is chosen by default. I select to install package X from B. This is ignored,
and A is used.

WISHED:
repo A (0), repo B (100)

A is chosen by default. I select to install package X from B. Since I override
manully the default priority (just for that install of course) B is used.

Everybody is happy, all features are used.
