Thanks.  And I'd suggest changing the warning message to say something like,
"WARNING: Priority field not present in cvs-1.8.1-1.i386.deb control file ".
to distinguish the package Priority from the dchanges Priority.  My response
to this message was to add the "Pri=Routine" override.  (since dselect used
the term Priority first, the dchanges Priority field should probably have
been called something else -- I think that's originally my mistake).

Thanks.
