Package: ftp.debian.org

The package priorities on security.debian.org differ from the ones in
the main archive, as can be seen in the following example where exim4
has Priority: optional in stable, but Priority: standard in
stable-security:

,----
| $ LANG=C apt-cache policy exim4                              
| exim4:
|   Installed: (none)
|   Candidate: 4.89-3
|   Version table:
|      4.89-3 500
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main i386 Packages
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
|      4.89-2+deb9u1 500
|         500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main i386 Packages
|         500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main amd64 Packages
|      4.89-2 500
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Packages
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
| $ LANG=C apt-cache show exim4 | grep -E '^(Version|Priority)'
| Version: 4.89-3
| Priority: optional
| Version: 4.89-2+deb9u1
| Priority: standard
| Version: 4.89-2
| Priority: optional
`----

I would have expected $suite/updates on security.debian.org to carry the
same overrides as $suite on ftp.debian.org.
