I've merged this patch for the next release. The only change from my
proposed wording was that I added this sentence to the description of
extra, just to be clear how to treat any packages found in the wild with
that priority:
This priority should be treated as equivalent to optional.
I don't think this will change anything, but it seemed best to be clear.
The upgrading-checklist entry for this change:
<varlistentry>
<term>2.5</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Priorities are now used only for controlling which packages
are part of a minimal or standard Debian installation and
should be selected based on functionality provided directly to
users (so nearly all shared libraries should have a priority
of <literal>optional</literal>). Packages may now depend on
packages with a lower priority.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>extra</literal> priority has been deprecated and
should be treated as equivalent to
<literal>optional</literal>. All <literal>extra</literal>
priorities should be changed to <literal>optional</literal>.
Packages with a priority of <literal>optional</literal> may
conflict with each other (but packages that both have a
priority of <literal>standard</literal> or higher still may
not conflict).
