Hmm. The logic that I added to do this really needs for the FIXME comment
that I added to be done before we release this.  Currently, it will randomly
insert packages in inappropriate "trust" positions.

I hadn't considered the scenario of latest/bash getting filled up with older
versions of bash.  The current code could easily put an older version of bash
in the "experimental" postion rather than the "prev" condition.
