Hi, To apt-listbugs folks: please use much more higher pin priority (say, 10000 or 20000) if what you want to say is "don't modify this package unless you have a very good reason", not "try this version first unless some other package relations disagree". The difference between highest-possible-by-default-990 and 1000 might be enough for 'candidate-or-nothing' APT but unfortunately isn't for priority-based resolving in Cupt. I'd be grateful if you could consider this change for jessie so users of cupt in coming stable could use this feature of apt-listbugs. Independently of that the bug against Cupt remains open to track the changes coming to 2.9.0 (work underway) to treat these kinds of 'version priority downgrade' more negatively than in 2.8.x by default plus the ability to configure it to be even more stricter if user wants so. Even after that changes, though, high (or, on the contrary, low) priority numbers are still the best way to tell how negative/positive different version choices are, especially when compared to version choices of other packages. -- Eugene V.
