I understand your feeling. But in my opinion, - If a package won't work with 'high', it seems simply package's bug. Maintainer will fix it. - As you said, we've tested and tested by 'high'. I use 'high' for some machines (not only install test, but work also), but have happened critical problem yet (X keyboard choice problem is there, but I don't believe this is stopper to make higher priority.). - Ah, tzsetup... Hmm, but how about tell users to run tzsetup via base-config? (Or can we fix it?) > > 7. When user does install or reconfigure package...

I know, but I always recommend users to use "dpkg-reconfigure --default-priority".
