If the version is the same, isn't the package *exactly* the same? Then
why should it matter where it is downloaded from?
I've seen apt-get on my machine (tracking testing) sometimes fail the
download of a package from testing, and then try to download it from
unstable. Since it does this for packages that have the same version on
both distributions, shouldn't this be regarded as a feature instead of a
bug?
