The part where M-x package-install RET foo RET will install foo-1.2.3 
over foo-20141205.315 when the latter is only available from a 
repository with a lower priority, and where "U" in the package list will 
not upgrade foo-1.2.3 to foo-20141205.315 when the latter is only 
available from a repository with a lower priority.

That is, the whole point of the original patch.

Regards,
Jorgen
