If so, that would have the same issue of forgetting my preferred input format, right? So if I have my "master", say, .mobi that I'd converted to .epub, if I restore defaults, Calibre will now convert from .epub to .epub by default (since epub has a higher priority as an input than mobi).

Is there a way, independent of other conversion options, to force a particular book to have a "master" format? E.g. I'd like, when I add a book to Calibre, to set the book's original format as the master format, even if I hit "restore defaults" later on. If there's not a way to do this currently, I think it'll be easy enough for me to hack into Calibre, which raises the question of whether I should send a resulting patch in, or whether it's too narrow of a feature to really be useful for anybody else.
Not really

Calibre will make an 'Original_xx' if you convert from-to the same format. That will be used if you convert the same again, but ?? if you convert to other formats.
Input and (device) Output preference list order prevail on send and conversions.
