How get overrides into ftp.debian.org/debian/indices/override.sid.main.gz ?



Hi,

on the old package tracker
  https://packages.qa.debian.org/libb/libburn.html
i see a problem report
  libburn-doc: Override says doc - optional, .deb says doc - extra
  libburn-dev: Override says libdevel - optional, .deb says libdevel - extra

Google brought me to
  https://wiki.debian.org/FtpMaster/Override
and
   http://ftp.debian.org/debian/indices/override.sid.main.gz
where i find these lines

  libburn-doc     optional        doc
  libburn-dev     optional        libdevel

The announcement
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/01/msg00307.html
invites me to file a bug if i don't like the override.

Well, i don't have a strong opinion myself but rather wonder how it was
decided to put the lines into override.sid.main.gz .
Are there reverse dependencies which require priority "optional" ?
Shall i change the priorities in debian/control ?

(Is it a bug or a feature that the new package tracker does not warn ?
  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libburn
)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
