Bug#657583: [packages.qa.debian.org] priority information garbled, shows "source"
Hello Damyan,
I guess that Raphael meant "Priority: source".
It should not be "source: dpkg (required, admin)" because some binary packages
have priority optional.

I think that these priorities are for binary packages, not source packages:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Priority
I don't know why "Priority: source" is added to the Sources files.
