Do you know whether we have a bug report for adding an option to disable that behavior?

It's https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=352560 . But I think what p2 (and Tycho) does is actually wise here as its aimed at reducing bandwidth consumption and speed up installations. We wouldn't really want to disable in p2 and it's better to get the build behave "normally" than setting too many tweaks so the divergence with actual behavior may be higher so build would hide some important issue and create new ones compared to vanilla p2.

If we do want 1.9.1 to be used, there are already multiple proper ways to specify it explicitly (better ranges in feature.xml/MANIFEST.MF, target-platform-configuration in pom.xml,...) without changing default behavior in p2.

Cheers,
