LOL.  And remember, having one repo specified as the "default" raised its
priority.  I'm not sure it raised it higher than you had
pinned "dapper-security" but I _am_ sure that if you don't specify a
default, and don't specify pin priorities, then dapper is the same priority
as dapper-security and dapper-security will always have higher versions and
therefore get installed.
