Package: libcap2-bin
Version: 1:2.24-8
Severity: normal

libcap2-bin is a dependency of systemd, which is Priority: important.
There's also a request (780721) to add it as a dependency of
iputils-ping, which is also Priority: important. Per policy, section
2.5, "Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values
(excluding build-time dependencies). In order to ensure this, the
priorities of one or more packages may need to be adjusted." Thus I
believe that the correct course of action is to change libcap2-bin to be
Priority: important.

Thanks
Noah
