Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.23
Severity: normal
It seems that deborphan does not report package's priority correctly. In
my Etch system the command "deborphan -aP" says for example:
main/devel gnu-efi optional
main/libs libldap-2.3-0 optional
But "aptitude show" tells that the former has a "standard" priority and
the latter is "important". Both were automatically installed by the
Debian installer.

That's an override disparity. The package says it's optional, but the
apt Packages file overrides this information. dpkg, once the package is
installed, does not know about the overrides.
dpkg -s libldap-2.3-0 should show you the same priority as deborphan.
