Just an update on this: there will soon be a "new" net-tools in ascii-proposed (version 1.60+git20161116.90da8a0-1+devuan1), with the correct Priority: important. The package is unmodified from Debian, just rebuilt. Actually, the Debian source package still has the correct Priority: important, while the binary strangely has Priority: optional ...o_O It must have been a last-minute override in Stretch. Please test the "new" package. I guess we will include the ascii-proposed version in ascii straight away.
