Question: Do we need the source part at all? Isn't it irrelevant?
+ Maybe first we go WITHOUT the source: part until we know how it will

I think all that ideas with pinning etc are overkill, since we will not
have that many different sources. I propose that we use only revision

+ Current ideas:

+ if "package" should be installed or upgraded, the following check is done
+ . take a look at all candidates and compute the pins of them

+ . promote those with the highest pin (can be only one, or all) to the
+ new set of candidates
+ . within the new set of candidates choose the highest revision number

currently there is a mess-up wrt to available and installed architectures.
