But sometimes, a new version may be more buggy than an old one
(possibly with local modifications). So, it may be useful to have
a location that has the precedence over the (version, revision).

However, what would be fine, is to have both. For instance, each URL
of the sources.conf file could be tagged by a rank (default: 0), and
the highest (-rank, version, revision) should have the precedence.
