Enabling additional components (universe, multiverse)
Under some circumstances, we want to install a package regardless of whether the user has explicitly enabled the channel. For example, when semi-automatically installing support for a new file type, codec, etc. For that reason we should just unconditionally enable all components.
There should be a straightforward, common way to do this.
