bug#19296: [PATCH] Package archives now have priorities.

IIUC this is a very rare case.  The more common and important case is
when the package is available from several archives at the same time.

available from other archive".  Maybe it could be a message or prompt
that shows up when you "Mark Upgradable Packages"?

Either way seems OK.

Not sure what "remainder" you're referring to.
