Mixing packages from repos is not a supportable configuration, but in principal we support partial upgrades where possible.
The problem here is that dpkg doesn't have the ability to describe the needed relationship. Specifically, we need https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/package-dependency-field- breaks to be implemented. It'll be too-little-too-late for this bug, but the bug is certainly real and should show up in queries if people want to understand why their system broke on a partial upgrade. I will close this ticket when Hoary has been end-of-life'd in October.
