I do plan to change debconf's default priority, but not until after the
sarge release. I know that there are various bugs in things at high
priority, for example, tzsetup (in base-config) is not usable when run
at the command line with no parameters at high priority. It simply
exits. 

I hope there arn't many bugs of this kind in packages, and of
course most packages most people install from base-config during
installation seem to be ok, since we've been testing with priority high
for half a year. But at this point I'd still prefer to be conservative
and hold off any further changes to debconf's priority until after the
sarge release.

You'd see new questions anyway when you reconfigure a package, since
dpkg-reconfigure automatically runs at low priority.
