Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainers,
Is there any block preventing removal of "extra" priority from overrides? e.g gnupg-utils extra utils "extra" priority is deprecated as per Debian Policy [1] extra This priority is deprecated. Use the optional priority instead. This priority should be treated as equivalent to optional. Please note that: a) some packages declare "optional" priority (e.g. gnupg-utils) but "extra" is given through overrides b) some others packages still declare "extra" priority (catched by lintian [2]) and I think this behavior should be overridden. There is a little disparity between overrides and lintian tag, but overrides take higher priority [3]. Packages involved: $ grep 'Priority: extra' Packages | wc -l 265 $ grep -P '\textra\t' override.sid.main | wc -l 265 Thanks for considering and kind regards.
