I like the suggestion a lot. The user will specifically want to install the packman versions of crippled packages, but won't want build service re-cripped newer versions to override them.
This is is such a special usecase that you will only be able to solve this, without user knowledge, if you can mark repos as leading, authorative or whatever. I dont think you can (and should) solve these usecases on a package level.
I think this is a quite common usecase actually.
Many users will have KDE-backports, Packman and Guru and many packages exist on two out of the three repos. And if you're not paying attention you'll be playing 'ping-pong' as so elegantly put by Duncan.
Amarok (most people will want Guru, BS version is crippled wrt. database support I believe)

And you should decide these on a package basis (setting something to taboo if you definately dont want it). This however should have nothing to do with the general policy.
