I suggested a possible solution to the author of package.el: make it so when you install a package "foo" from archive "bar", you install "bar/foo", not just "foo". On updating, you should only get updates of "foo" from the "bar" repository. If "fie" comes along with a newer version, that's ignored. If you try explicitly installing "fie/foo", you're asked to remove "bar/foo" since that's a conflict. As it is, I only use one non-ELPA repo to avoid the mess that results from enabling more repos. I would prefer to use e.g. melpa stable, but it supports only git packages, which means many of my favourites are left out.
