Description

We provide source-repository in plugin metadata and default-repository
in plugin catalog.

Currently, (I think this is how it works) when we install a plugin
from a remote repo A, if the installation is not restricted to the
particular repo A:

If the plugin specifies 1+ source-repository, we'll use that and
ignore the default-repository specified in plugin catalog.

If the plugin doesn't specify any source-repository, we'll use the
default-repository specified in the plugin catalog.

I 'd like to change it to:

If the plugin specifies 1+ source-repository, we'll use that AND the
default-repository specified in plugin catalog.
