src:blends 0.6.93 uploaded on 09 Apr 2016 introduced a new binary
package, blends-dev, with "priority: important", causing it to be
installed on *all* systems by debootstrap by default.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities is
quite clear what important packages are, and IMO blends-dev clearly
doesnt qualify as "noone expects it."

IMO blends-tasks rather should be of priority: optional.

Dear tech-ctte, please clarify. I don't have the time nor energy for
bts-ping-pong, but Ole said he is going to close this bug soon (in
addition to setting the severity to "normal") and closing this bug
without changing the priority would just be wrong, IMO.

Thanks. (And sorry for my lack of patience here.)

(I'm also not sure who has the final say on definining priorities, the
ftpmasters maybe? Feel free to swiftly re-assign there.)
