Truely? I thought differently and was sure I am right.
Maybe you are right, but in that case, how would you explain the behavior I had if a package of a priority of 500 is considered to have the same priority as a package with 900 ? ;)
I just skimmed again through apt_preferences man page, but did not findsuch examples or explanations. Where's it documented?
I must admit, that I only base my words on old readings and experimentations. It also seems logic: what would be the interest to have so wide ranges of numbers oterwise? Maybe I'm wrong, but what I have seen those days tends to prove that I am not.
