[issue231] SMART doesn't respect channel priority-setting

i was having similar issues with the default-created rpm-sys'
priority, and cycling upgrade/downgrades.

after a chat here on list, i DISABLED the auto-creation of the rpm-sys
by commenting out in:

	$EDIT /usr/lib/smart/distro.py

		#    sysconf.set(("channels", "rpm-sys"),
		#                {"alias": "rpm-sys",
		#                 "type": "rpm-sys",
		#                 "name": "RPM System"})

then removing the auto-created channel with:

	smart channel --yes --remove rpm-sys

and, finally, setting up my own rpm-sys channel with:

	smart channel --yes --add myDB \
	type=rpm-sys \
	name="RPM System" \
	priority=12 \
	disabled=no

where, of course, the priority is whatever you wish/need.

since then -- no more upgrade/downgrade weirdness.

hth.
