Interesting. The reason this came up is a couple of days ago I had an
extremely important upload to make for webmin. I put critical in the
changelog but dpkg-parsechangelog bombed out. That's when I did some
investigation and discovered the new set of urgencies. I replaced
critical with emergency and it worked. IIRC it didn't get installed in
the archive until two days later. And today I installed the new policy
saw it still mentioned the old values and got confused. :-)
So is this a dpkg-parsechangelog bug or have the archive scripts not
caught up to new developments yet?
