That's indeed what I tried to describe above. I hesitated on this point, but finally I thought this behavior was more consistent with normal target (literal) lookup or group members lookup in the db. It's always the first repo that has the priority and others are ignored. It should not be hard to change the behavior of _alpm_resolvedep though.
