I don't see how we could assume 'a' is a superior satisfying dependency here.
Using C-style pseudocode, what if sizeof('b1') + sizeof('b') < sizeof('a')? I
don't see why a package having less dependencies is inherently better.
Unless there's a specific reason why the current behaviour is wrong which I've
missed, I don't think this is an issue.

I agree that fewer dependencies is not a good metric for being superior. But
'a' should be considered superior because it's already installed.
The bug is that 'b' and 'b1' are installed unnecessarily, in addition to 'a'
and 'a1'.

I read the test case as installing just 'a1', not 'a'. If 'a' is already
installed then yes, 'b' shouldn't be. Not sure that's what's being tested here
though.

Well, my memory is not reliable, so I'll defer to your judgement.
