Do we want all packages to include the Section and Priority fields?

If so, then I think it is far more effective to change dpkg's default
behaviour so that it does include these fields, rather than requiring
an explicit flag -isp.
 
However, I don't know the history behind this.  What is the reason for
not including Section and Priority by default?
