index-url extra-index-url install priority order

This is totally related to #5045, but I can not comment on it. For me this should be re-opened, because it's a security issue. I provide the package `xxx` to the private repository `my-company.com`. Then I gives installation instructions to collaborators, configure CI to install this package, etc. The problem is if someone add a package with the same name on pypi.org, then users and CI will get this package instead of mine, which is bad: and I want to be sure that the installation will not change. It's not about naming package: if I name my packe `my_company.xxx`, a malicious user could chose the exact same name and publish it to pypi, letting my collaborators installing a malware instead of my package.
