The question is, what good is this plugin doing? If you enable a 3rd
party repo, to get something like MythTV, you'll need to get the deps.
If the deps happen to replace core/extras packages, then they do. They
are necessary for the software you are asking to install.
Not always.
Sometimes the Core package is sufficient, but the third party repo has
what looks like a newer release, thus updating the core package when it
doesn't need to.
How does the end user know the difference?
