I think "Priority: important" is probably appropriate here? https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/blob/c019a546a37b9284f0503c955d0f198044a7e2f0/scripts/debian-common#L29 Then it's installed by default in standard / d-i, but not part of minbase, buildd, etc. (It wouldn't affect/do anything in most container images or runtimes anyhow, which is also an argument for it being harmless to include. 🤷) ❤️, - Tianon >
