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.
