Bug#559074: libffi5: Should perhaps be priority "optional" instead of "extra"



Package: libffi5
Version: 3.0.9~rc3-1
Severity: wishlist


Looking at the (immediate) reverse dependencies of libffi5, it turns
out that most of the reverse dependencies are "Priority: optional",
specifically:

darcs
ghc6
gobject-introspection
gtkrsync
guile-g-wrap
haddock
libghc6-mtl-dev
libghc6-x11-dev
libghc6-xmonad-dev
libgirepository1.0-0
libgwrap-runtime2
pandoc
python-gobject
xmonad

I think given the low-levelness of libffi, it would make sense to have
it be "Priority: optional" instead of "Priority: extra".

Thanks, Rotty
