Package: developers-reference
Severity: normal

"Also, it is recommended to adjust its section to oldlibs and its
priority to extra in order to ease deborphan's job." (
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-transition
)

When I followed this recommendation I was asked not to modify the
section to "oldlibs" because the package was not a library.  Based on
the developer's reference I thought that "oldlibs" was used as a
special section for transitional packages.  If this is not the case,
please update the Developer's Reference.

Additionally, please change "to extra" to "to optional".

Thank you!
Nicholas
