--- Begin Message ---Package: libgmerlin-avdec1 Version: 1.2.0~dfsg-3+b1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, I noticed that this package has a priority "extra". according to debian policy, i don't see a reason to not have priority "optional", since the package does not have any "specialized requirements" such as mentioned in §2.5 of the Debian policy. the problem i'm experiencing is, that some packages of priority "optional" depend on this package, which is a direct violation of §2.5 ("Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values"). so either these packages or your package ought to have fixed priorities, and i think it that this package would be the better place quoting from #debian-mentors: 10:27 < zmoelnig> i'm wondering about the "priorities" field: which priority should i use as default for "most" packages? "extra" or "optional"? [...] 10:30 < wRAR> zmoelnig: optional [...] 10:31 < wRAR> there is #660249 10:31 < wRAR> the only example in the text (debug symbols) hints (at least for me) that this is not really about specialized software, but about non-software packages. 10:32 < wRAR> other widely used example is transitional packages [...] 10:34 < wRAR> at this point someone usually remembers that distinctions between optional and extra do not have a real meaning and that priorities should be abolished. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgmerlin-avdec1 depends on: ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-16 ii libavcodec54 6:9.10-1 ii libavformat54 6:9.10-1 ii libc6 2.17-96 ii libcdio13 0.83-4 ii libdca0 0.0.5-6 ii libdvdread4 4.2.0+20130219-2 ii libfaad2 2.7-8 ii libflac8 1.3.0-2 ii libgavl1 1.4.0-1 ii libgsm1 1.0.13-4 ii libmad0 0.15.1b-8 ii libmjpegutils-2.0-0 1:2.1.0+debian-1 ii libmpeg2-4 0.5.1-5 ii libogg0 1.3.1-1 ii libopenjpeg2 1.3+dfsg-4.6 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-5 ii libpostproc52 6:0.git20120821-4 ii libschroedinger-1.0-0 1.0.11-2 ii libsmbclient 2:4.0.11+dfsg-1 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.1-1 ii libswscale2 6:9.10-1 ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3.1 ii libtiff4 3.9.7-2 ii libvdpau1 0.7-1 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1.3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii multiarch-support 2.17-96 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 libgmerlin-avdec1 recommends no packages. libgmerlin-avdec1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
