While this certainly needs addressing, and I'm fine with changing
libxapian22 if that's what if preferred, policy doesn't appear to
justify filing this as RC in libxapian22 - "[aptitude] must not depend
on packages with lower priority values" would justify this being RC in
aptitude, but not in the dependent package(s).

I've asked in #debian-ftp to avoid me raising libxapian22's priority and
then discovering they'd prefer to demote aptitude instead.
