Package: emacs
Version: 1:29.4+1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the following configuration I would expect Emacs not to attempt
upgrading packages installed from Debian to a newer version from MELPA.

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/";) t)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";) t)
(set-default 'package-archive-priorities
             '(("gnu" . 9)
               ("nongnu" . 8)
               ("melpa-stable" . 3)))

With elpa-debian-el version 37.18, the upgrade functionality (U x) in
package-list-packages menu wants to upgrade to version 20250108.2119
from MELPA. I can't find from any documentation if this is the expected
behaviour of Emacs for "external" packages, but it does not feel right
to me. I think they should be treated in the same way as built-in
packages.

Thanks.
