This is a good idea, but rather than introduce a new priority, I propose that we loosen the definitions of the higher priorities. Currently we have
Essential (a de-facto priority composed of those packages with the Essential flag on) Required Important Standard Optional Extra If our intent is that practically all systems install Standard and higher, do we really need four tiers there? Let's broaden important so it includes our current standard software and redefine standard as Ian suggested the new priority be defined. Guy
