The distinction between optional and extra is basically pointless these
days.  That said, I usually classify packages as extra if they are
particularly obscure, if they are only useful for very specific purposes
(such as all debugging symbol packages), or if they conflict with packages
with a higher priority (such as alternative implementations of the same
functionality).
