[Spacewalk-list] multiple activation keys and config channels

hi list,

as i understand in the redhat docs, it is possible to combine multiple activation keys, so the packages, software channels and config channels of each key get combined

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.2/html/Reference_Guide/s2-sm-systems-activation-keys.html#s3-sm-system-keys-multiple

the idea is to have a "basic OS setup" key and others that add to it, like "webserver" or "database" ...

basically it should look like that:
key1: has default software channels, packages and a config channel
key2: has some additional packages/software channels and a config channel that overwrites some of the files in the channel above

for this the priority ranking of the config channels is important, so that the config channel of key2 overwrites key1
however, i dont see how i can control rankings in such a setup? I dont see any options to give priorities to activation keys.

any ideas, somebody who uses a similar setup?
