Re: Libraries with "extra" priority?

[Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>]

Hello Tim,

When Debian had less than 1000 packages it meant something to talk
about "specialised requirements", and divide packages between extra and
optional based on that, but that division has broken down now we have
50,000 packages.  As I understand it, the current consensus is that
the difference between extra and optional is only whether there are
any file conflicts with other packages.

It would be acceptable, therefore, to change your package to extra or
libpeas to optional.  I agree with your reasoning for leaning towards
the latter.
