New priority?
IMO optional is getting too big. I can see two remedies:
* Split optional into two priorities. The higher will contain packages
that very many install, eg X11, and popular games. The lower will
contain packages that are of more limited interest but still generally
useful, like the -dev packages of many libraries.
* Move many packages to extra. Before I wrote this I reread the descriptions
of priorities and discovered, to my surprise, that some of my
packages actually would be better placed in extra.
When I started writing I wanted the first solution, now I'm unsure. It
seems that we already have a fitting priority which I and others have
"ignored". Any objections to me (or rather Guy :-) moving shhmsg, shhopt,
shhmsg-dev and shhopt-dev to extra? If not, then I think others
should follow...
