That's urgency low, and as I said, has nothing to do with it.

Package: geda-gschem
Priority: optional
Section: electronics
Package: speex
Priority: optional
Section: sound
Package: wipl
Priority: optional
Section: net
They're all priority optional, so we move to the section.
The documentation says that section is ordered alphabetically,
however, this is wrong. There is a list of the section each
having a value.
It's ordered like this:
libs, debian-installer, base, devel, ...,
net, ..., sound, ..., electronics, ...
So we first get wipl, then speex, then geda-gschem. And this
seems to agree with what you see.

They are also an ordering of what is most important.
