Bug#196367: priority dependencies and alternatives



Hi,

with the latest developer news I saw mksh was listed. However, mksh
needs to have dependencies on "debconf ($foo) | cdebconf ($bar)" in
two flavours – one is added so lintian doesn’t complain due to mi-
nimum version requirements for certain features, the other is added
via misc:Depends from debhelper. Now, cdebconf has priority extra.

Do I need to do something to my package, and if so, what? Downgrading
all packages with an alternative dependency on cdebconf doesn’t seem
sensible to me, so the language might need to change.

bye,
//mirabilos
