Hmm... not sure about this.

Say the initial upgrade solution had something like: package A 1.0 -> 
1.1, and A 1.1 has a dependency on package B 2.0, where currently B 1.0 
is installed (so B 1.0 -> 2.0)

If the user then changes B to 'keep' (at 1.0), we should report a conflict?

Does keeping this cause a problem?

I guess we are generating a huge number of these tasks into the solver 
because "Keep" is kind of overloaded between "Don't care (but it just 
happens that I know that there's nothing to do)" and "Lock"?
