prefer native arch over higher priority for providers
The rational from the buglog: > The problem here is that the Priority field in one of the Packages files > is incorrect due to a mishap with reprepro configuration, […] the > amd64 version is Priority: standard but the arm64 version is Priority: > optional (and has a stray "optional: interpreters" field). > […] > However, Priority is a rather weak property of a package because it's > typically applied via overrides, and it's easy for maintainers of > third-party repositories to misconfigure them so that overrides aren't > applied correctly. It shouldn't be ranked ahead of choosing packages > from the native architecture. In this case, I have no user-mode > emulation for arm64 set up, so choosing m4:arm64 simply won't work. This effectly makes the priority the least interesting data point in chosing a provider, which is in line with the other checks we have already order above priority in the past and also has a certain appeal by the soft irony it provides. Closes: #718482
