Bug#498934: priority required still necessary?

[Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>]

Package: gcc-4.2-base
Version: 4.2.4-3
Severity: normal

I was wondering why gcc-4.2-base is priority required given that gcc-4.3-base
is around which already is priority required.
The other gcc-*-base packages, like gcc-4.1-base and gcc-3.4-base, have 
priority optional. Should be priority of gcc-4.2-base be demoted to optional?
