In your debian/rules file, you need to invoke dpkg-gencontrol with the
-isp option to get Section and Priority information in the .deb file.
I've never understood why this is not done by default.
Note that this still won't get the information into the override file;
that has to be done by hand.

Indeed not, you'll have to wait. Fortunately the main archive
now has three maintainers, so it shouldn't take long.
