I won't do that. I might parse the priority string the same way dependencies are parsed, though, instead of assuming that PriorityType() returns a reliable string. This would be easy to do and would require no changes from translators. > - idea 3 is apt drops gettextized priority name. (reassign libapt-pkg-dev) This seems to be the simplest change to me, but means that priority names are no longer localized.
