Short: Sounds good to me.
AFAICT, we don't use Priority for any thing in Britney, so it won't
cause a lot of issues. The only thing is that Britney does not include
"Priority" in the control files she writes.
However, I believe she is the only consumer of those control files.
If we assume "Priority: optional" if the field is missing, this should
not be an issue[1].
If you change the value of the source field, that should also be fine.
I see it is written to the "HeidiResult" file, but I think that
particular column is stripped by another of our scripts before it is
passed on (I think we use that column to strip out our "faux" packages).

[1] The filtering would ensure that she would never write a "Priority:
extra" source in the control files, so the assumption should be reasonable.
