Do you mean the urgency=high in debian/changelog?

Historically urgency=high should always be set in debian/changelog for
security-uploads[1], and there should be no DSA with urgency not high
(I know this is not the case). This had previously probably also some
technical background on archive/buildd side, but has no "real" meaning
for the update itself.
