Subject: control file: Priority for udeb packages
Hi,
the Debian Policy is not strict there under
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#priority
so I better ask:
Is there any sense in adding a Priority field for udeb packages?
For example like this for cdebconf:
----snip---------------
Source: cdebconf
Section: utils
Priority: optional
[...]
Package: cdebconf
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, debconf, dpkg (>= 1.15.4)
Provides: debconf-2.0
Suggests: cdebconf-gtk
Priority: optional
[...]
Package: cdebconf-udeb
Architecture: any
Section: debian-installer
Priority: standard
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Provides: debconf-2.0
Package-Type: udeb
[...]
------snap-----------------
Source package has optional, also has the 'cdebconf' binary package, and the
udeb has standard.
I this somehow intended? Has is some effect?
udebs are 'micro binary packages' by definition, so they don't need the
Priority field themselves, they inherit the value from Source package, right?
Any other intention, especially why the udeb has standard, while source has
optional?
