I'm wondering for the longest time if overriding the section and priority "by default" is still useful. Maybe it would nowadays be better to stop overriding section/priority completely (and thus just using the values from the package control files).

I imagine this would reduce the overrides by 99%, leaving only the few actual special cases. These would not need "after the fact fixes", as ISTM they would by definition be "after NEW processing".

I find this a very interesting idea. What are the main challenges with implementing this?
