It's quite double-sided, and probably too hard to implement for what 
I seek. Just let me restate it in a more clear way (for me too).

Current situation (simplified): xmms.pm and SDL.suse are installed.

What happens on `smart upgrade` when:

  - giving packman a higher priority: will pull in SDL.pm (not good)

  - giving packman the same priority: will also pull SDL.pm

  - giving packman a lower priority: will downgrade xmms.

neither of which is What I Want. However, since the semantics of `smart 
upgrade` works like that (upgrade everything), I was looking for a 
'smarter' upgrade.
