Re: ssh priority standard (?)

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

For the record:

libgdbmg1 priority should be upgraded to "required".
console-data priority should be upgraded to "required".

Both packages are already required "de-facto", but if somebody 
writes some kind of script to install only the packages of required 
priority (for a minimal system) the script will miserably fail because 
of the broken priorities, and additional tweaking becomes necessary.

This is not an "if we change this in potato something might break",
but "this is already broken in potato and none of the ftp.debian.org 
maintainers is apparently willing to fix it".

Is this some kind of "superstition", as Branden has pointed out, or are 
they so overloaded that they can only fix "severity: important" bugs?

Thanks.
