Version: 1.2.0~rc1+git7-g3be3fbf-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 2.5

Hi,

currently qextserialport and all of its binaries have the priority
extra. On the other hand, at least the library is used by other
binaries with an higher priority -- for example, marble.

According to Policy §2.5, at least libqextserialport1 should be
optional.
Attached there is a patch for bumping the priority to optional to all
the binaries except the debug symbols, as it is usually done by other
sources.

(Note that after an upload of this, you will also need to file a bug
against ftp.debian.org to adjust on ftp-master side the priorities of
the binaries.)

Thanks,
