Policy, 5.6.6: Priority
| This field represents how important it is that the user have the
| package installed. See Priorities, Section 2.5.

| When it appears in the debian/control file, it gives the value for the

Which means: If this is set, i *must* be taken as default for the binary
packages (everything else would be a policy violation and therefor an RC
bug, right?).
Similarly for the Section (Policy, 5.6.5)
I am a bit wondering why you don't care about this? Its policy, its the
law?

Shall I file these bugs to dak?
