Please excuse me for being a bit ignorant on the matter, but shouldn't
the naming policy should take care of it?

I'm assuming that just by naming a package either _alpha, _beta, _pre or
_rc, this package won't be chosen before any other package without a
suffix or that has _p. If it ain't like this, why is that?
