When setting the priority, I looked at other bootloaders and the priority
varied from package to package. Lilo is set to optional for example, while
silo is set to important. At that time, I considered "important" to be
correct and as delo was only build for mipsel, that was no problem.
I can change the priority to optional and re-upload the package, if that
is the general consent.

Having it build on other architectures has been an explicit request,
see bug #252143.
