Packages of "standard" priority in a fresh cdebootstrapped system as dependencies of packages with higher priorities.



Hello! I have just installed a Debian Stable system with cdebootstrap (cdebootstrap jessie ./ http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/) and in this new system I found the following packages, which have "standard" priority:

libcap2
libdb5.3
libgcrypt20
libgnutls-deb0-28
libgnutls-openssl27
libgpg-error0
libidn11
libp11-kit0
libtasn1-6

According to "aptitude why", they are installed for the following reasons:

i   systemd Depends libcap2 (>= 1:2.10)
i   libpam-modules PreDepends libdb5.3
i   systemd PreDepends libgcrypt20 (>= 1.6.1)
i   wget Depends libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.3.0)
i   iputils-ping Depends libgnutls-openssl27 (>= 3.0-0)
i   libgcrypt20 Depends libgpg-error0 (>= 1.14)
i   wget Depends libidn11 (>= 1.13)
i   libgnutls-deb0-28 Depends libp11-kit0 (>= 0.20.7)
i   libgnutls-deb0-28 Depends libtasn1-6 (>= 4.1-0)

However, according to Debian Policy (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html), "Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding build-time dependencies)."

Should I report this incident somewhere, or is it ok? Thank you.
