What I am searching for is something like pkgpolicy=newest_and_if_equal_then_last ;=)

Could newest be defined to mean "sort by time then by serverid"? Perhaps it
already is?

The idea is to have the file:// mirror override the http:// repository only
if the rpms are the same, otherwise use the remote repo. Using last would
always choose the local repo even if the remote has newer rpms.
