A while ago someone (Santiago iirc) filed a bugreport about packages depending on other packages with a lower priority. This made me wonder about allowed relations between packages. Reading the policy document does not give any explicit demands. The only thing that I am sure of is that a package may not depend on a packages with a lower priority. If this also holds for recommends is not specified, although it might be logical considering that a Recommend is handled the same as a Depend with respect to DFSG compliance. I have updated my dependency-checker to also check Depends for priorities, and the report is available via www at http://master.debian.org/~wakkerma/unmet.html . If nobody disagrees with handling Recommends the same as Depends I'll add this to the scanner.
