Package: debconf-i18n
Severity: normal
Version: 1.5.59
Hi,
while debconf-i18n might be useful ot be installed initially, it's
definitely not a "required" package (anymore):
debconf only "Recommends" it and I have tons of systems which work very
well without debconf-i18n for years now.
So please downgrade debconf-i18n's priority to either "important" or
"standard".

debconf-i18n's priority override was changed some time ago[1]. I guess
I overlooked this bug as it didn't follow the usual naming scheme.
