smart install --help:
[...]
Options:
  -h, --help  Show this help message and exit
  --stepped   Split operation in steps
  --urls      Dump needed urls and don't commit operation
  --download  Download packages and don't commit operation
  --explain   Include additional information about changes,when possible
  -y, --yes   Do not ask for confirmation

No clues that there is a -o force-channels
