Package: debian-policy Version: 2.5.0.0 In /usr/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch2.html it says: Packages may not depend on packages with lower priority values. If this should happen, one of the priority values will have to be adapted.
I think this is unclear. Especially the second sentence. Perhaps this phraseology would be clearer: All dependencies in a package MUST have equal or higher priority than the package itself. In order to achieve this the priorities of one or more packages may have to be adjusted. Lintian Maintainer: BTW, do we have software that checks the archive for compliance with this part of policy? Does lintian do it? A brief scan at that package suggests that this should be added to lintian's wish list. -- Christopher J.
