I've pushed a proposed fix in bzr (linked above) which I think is the right fix for a more general problem, namely that there's other metadata already available that should tell us which packages are preferred, but we're not using it.

This change adds sorting the package by archive component (including both the known Debian and Ubuntu components in the list, with all other components sorted last).

To further improve the sort order, I think we should also sort by package priority - which requires storing that information in the database for all packages. The priority data in the Ubuntu archive is more or less unmaintained at present, I think, but it /can/ be fixed up if there's a use case, and I think that's a better choice than carrying overrides around in the command-not-found package itself.

The fix was part of the "0.2.32ubuntu1" jaunty upload, thanks for it again.

But the bug goes further than this, so I keep it open for now, currently there is no support in command-not-found to add "hints" about the display order, that requires new code.

In addition to the support from Steve I added basic priority support via a manual overrides file.
