If the user requested "no binaries", how does it make sense to say 
"first preference binary"?

Also in the list that `Freshen --no-binaries` first shows, everything is 
green (which means "only Recipe available"), even the packages that 
Freshen without --no-binaries shows as blue (which means "Recipe+Binary 
available").  I suppose this means Freshen doesn't even look for 
binaries when you don't want them (which makes sense).

P.S. Some recipes (such as GHC-Bin) are for (third-party) binaries (that 
likely use Makefiles).  Of course, they have i686 and other 
arch-specific sections in the recipe.  In Freshen's view they are 
"Recipe" not "Binary"...
