I did write that we also need text to discourage raising priorities without asking other interested parties, first. And that should also include the maintainer of the package which will get its priority raised. IMHO, it would be fine if they're treated the same way we do pre-depends, i.e. "ask in d-devel first", only we'd want to add at least debian-boot and debian-cd and the relevant package maintainers as well. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
