Package: python-clientform Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.5 Hello,
One of my packages [1] depends on python-clientform; Debcheck states that it is optional and has a Depends on python-clientform which is extra [2]. python-clientform's "extra" priority was justifiable as it conflicted with packages python2.3-clientform (<< 0.2.2) and python2.4-clientform (<< 0.2.2). >From the Policy [3]: / | extra | This contains all packages that conflict with others with | required, important, standard or optional priorities, or are only | likely to be useful if you already know what they are or have | specialized requirements (such as packages containing only detached | debugging symbols). \ As those two packages are not available in Debian anymore, and unless there is another reason (I did not see) justifying the "extra" priority, I would suggest removing the Conflicts and Replaces lines from the debian/control file, and changing the package's priority to "optional" in order to comply with the Policy. Thank you for your consideration.
