Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.9
Severity: minor

All packages with "Essential: yes" have "Priority: required", except for
apt.  Seems like apt should have "Priority: required" as well.

(I'd guess that this particular priority dates back to when Debian
systems could use dpkg and optionally dselect to manage packages,
without apt.)
