I note that the exception given for Mageia 1 to have packages that were in
Mandriva, but weren't available at Mageia 1 release be available in updates
makes this more difficult.
My laptop, upgraded from Mandriva 2010.1, still has 143 non-library packages
with 'mdv' in the release tag. I would hate to have all the dependencies of
all these 143 packages have to be copied to updates ...

IMHO, the identical package should be in updates (possibly hard-linked), as:
1)Users who already had the dependency installed should not have to upgrade it
2)Package %{NAME} and EVR should be unique.
So, IMHO, sysadmins need to sync/hardlink dependency packages to updates-
testing, and move to updates once validated.
