Dear Maintainer,

Since Debian Policy 4.7.3 the Priority field defaults to "optional" and
is recommended to be omitted from the source stanza:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities

dl10n-check, which generates the l10n-pkg-status pages on
i18n.debian.org, still treats a missing Priority as an error:

    source does not specify a priority

Every package following current Policy is therefore marked as errored,
and the error propagates to tracker.debian.org as an "action needed"
item. Affected examples: cppi, vim, gnome-shell, geeqie, kdenlive:
https://i18n.debian.org/l10n-pkg-status/c/cppi.html

A fix already exists. Simon Josefsson posted a patch in January 2026
(thread "cppi: i18n.debian.org: source does not specify a priority" on
debian-i18n) and opened a merge request:
https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/merge_requests/11

Two actions are needed:

1. Merge !11 in salsa l10n-team/dl10n
2. Deploy the updated dl10n-check on i18n.debian.org so the daily
   regeneration stops emitting the error

Happy to help test, or to assist with dl10n maintenance if extra hands
are welcome.

I see that commit 28670fc ("Let missing Priority field mean optional")
was merged to master branch in l10n-team/dl10n, and the new
l10n-pkg-status generated today no longer emits the error.

Thank you!
