The override is correct. Policy 4.0.1 deprecated the "extra" priority:
<quote>
2.5
Priorities are now used only for controlling which packages are part
of a minimal or standard Debian installation and should be selected
based on functionality provided directly to users (so nearly all shared
libraries should have a priority of optional). Packages may now depend
on packages with a lower priority.
The extra priority has been deprecated and should be treated as
equivalent to optional. All extra priorities should be changed to
optional. Packages with a priority of optional may conflict with each
other (but packages that both have a priority of standard or higher
still may not conflict).
