Bug#691605: multiarch-support: Package priority standard too low, should be required
Package: multiarch-support
Version: 2.13-36
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5
Multiarch-support should have priority required:
Multiarch support is a release goal for wheezy and for this the package multiarch-support exists.
Due to this nature many packages pre-depends on multi-arch, including packages which have a priority of
important or required.
Of course, reading the policy, it would be indeed a RC-bug in the dependees but I think it is not feasible
to lower the priorities of those as those are key packages.
* just random examples for dependees of priority required:
e2fslibs, libacl1, libmount1
coldtobi
