Package: lintian
Severity: minor
Dear maintainer,
after downloading Packages.xz file [1] and searching
priority-extra files for amd64 architecture in sid:
$ sed -n "/Priority: extra/p" Packages | wc -l
272
I saw a little divergence.
I compared the result with this page [2] that reports 3578 matches
(archs different than amd64? experimental packages?) but some packages
seem to be missing.
E.g.
Package: allure
Version: 0.8.3.0-3
Installed-Size: 36600
Maintainer: Debian Haskell Group <pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
[...]
Section: games
Priority: extra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Package: binutils-i686-gnu
Source: binutils
Version: 2.31.1-16
Installed-Size: 15253
Maintainer: Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>
[...]
Section: devel
Priority: extra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
maybe others... I have to admit that I have not checked all occurrences.
Thanks for considering.
Kind regards.

This is due to the fact that the priority fields in the packages files
come from the archive's override lists, which may well not match the
values present in the binary packages.
If you check the latter, you will find that they are expected and in
line with Lintian's output:
adsb@coccia:~$ dpkg-deb -I /srv/mirrors/debian/pool/main/a/allure/allure_0.8.3.0-3_amd64.deb | grep Priority
Priority: optional
adsb@coccia:~$ dpkg-deb -I /srv/mirrors/debian/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils-i686-gnu_2.31.1-16_amd64.deb | grep Priority
Priority: optional
Regards,
Adam
