It’s not obvious: there are license terms which don’t match what you’d expect
when installing a package in Debian. *You* might know that installing Steam
involves accepting a specific license, but the package maintainers can’t
expect that of all users.

The priorities are defined as follows in debconf-devel(7):
high
Items that don't have a reasonable default.
critical
Items that will probably break the system without user intervention.
This isn’t something that would break the system, it’s a question for which
there is no reasonable default, so it’s priority “high”, not “critical”.

And I think that’s the more sensible approach. If you set your default
debconf priority to “critical”, you need to expect breakage of this sort,
given the priority definitions...
