Bug#33076: [PROPOSED] Definition of extra priority

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Package: debian-policy

There has been a long discussion about the exact meaning of the words
"higher priorities" in the definition of extra priority:

"This contains packages that conflict with others with higher priorities,
or are only likely to be useful if you already know what they are or have
specialised requirements."


I propose that we clarify this by saying explicitly which are the
priorities higher than extra. The modified wording would be:


"This contains packages that conflict with others with required,
important, standard or optional priorities, or are only likely to be
useful if you already know what they are or have specialised requirements."


I am now looking for seconds for this proposal.
