I have a lot more to say on the general topic being
discussed, but thought I'd try to clear up this one point quickly. 

If there is something "in your repository"
that you name in your b3aggrcon file, then p2 considers anything in there
as "fair game" to pull, if it satisfies some constraint it is
trying to satisfy. 

It may pick something from there rarely, but it has
been a "real life" problem over the years, where people mistakenly
think that only the features they name are installed from their repository.
Whether not it would be a problem depends on many things -- some of which
is what other projects do or specify, which you could never know or be
in control of. 

While some are surprised at this, it is also the way
p2 works when a user installs something.
