Bug#788702: override: make default install a bit smaller

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-boot@lists.debian.org

Please change the following priorities as proposed earlier[1]:

  # From Priority: important:
  for p in \
      groff-base man-db manpages less netcat-traditional traceroute \
  ; do
    dak override ${p} . standard
  done
  dak override nfacct . optional

  # From Priority: standard:
  for p in \
      aptitude aptitude-common at bc dc dnsutils bsd-mailx exim4 \
      exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light procmail mutt \
      ftp info texinfo install-info m4 mlocate nfs-common rpcbind \
      patch time w3m whois \
  ; do
    dak override ${p} . optional
  done
  dak override host oldlibs extra

I suggested to demote a few more packages from Priority: important,
namely cron, ifupdown, isc-dhcp-client, isc-dhcp-common, logrotate,
rsyslog and wget. I still would like to see them demoted eventually, but
here is my reason to keep them for now:

  cron:
    needed by logrotate

  ifupdown, isc-dhcp-{client,common}:
    d-i should still configure this by default. Maybe demote once we
    switch to a different default network configuration tool, cf. [2].

  logrotate:
    should be kept as long as rsyslog is still important

  rsyslog:
    needed for persistent logging by default; still tempted to
    demote this (plus logrotate and maybe cron then)...
    A "standard" install would still include rsyslog after all.

  wget:
    useful to have a tool to grab files from a remote location; having
    such a tool might be useful enough to keep it at important
