This would suggest you can get different results depending on mirror 
used, which is not the case. The priority is set in the central archive, 
which is then mirrored.

APT and debootstrap will definitely use the archive view on priorities 
when deciding which packages to download and install.

dpkg on the other hand is probably using the information inside the 
package (debian/control) for its database, but probably not much else.
 
This is the most obvious way one could end up with different results. 

The other way would be if the archive priority was changed between 
different installs.

Kind regards,
Andrei
