Package: grml-keyring Version: 2025.02.24 Severity: serious Justification: violates Debian Policy
Hi, I debootstraped sid and noticed that the resulting system contains an APT sources file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.sources pointing to a 3rd-party repository deb.grml.org. That file is part of grml-keyring package which has Priority: important and is therefor installed by default. Debian Policy states¹ the following: Most Debian packages will have a priority of optional. Priority levels other than optional are only used for packages that should be included by default in a standard installation of Debian. … Unless a package should be installed by default on standard Debian systems, it should have a priority of optional. Priority 'important' is described as: Important programs, including those which one would expect to find on any Unix-like system. … The important packages are just a bare minimum of commonly-expected and necessary tools. I suppose that grml-keyring package is not meant to be part of default Debian installation and therefor it should have Priority: optional. ¹ https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#priorities
