Bad logic, just because you don't miss them does not mean nobody did. Dozens of people wrote in to ask why they didn't get various standard priority packages installed by default. As already stated, there is nothing to stop you from de-selecting the standard priority packages in aptitude before it installs them. This will probably be improved further after sarge's release. In the meantime the current system complies with Debian policy and gives us a way to find out if some packages are incorrectly at standard priority. -- see shy jo
