For example like this for cdebconf: ----snip--------------- Source: cdebconf Section: utils Priority: optional [...] Package: cdebconf Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, debconf, dpkg (>= 1.15.4) Provides: debconf-2.0 Suggests: cdebconf-gtk Priority: optional [...] Package: cdebconf-udeb Architecture: any Section: debian-installer Priority: standard Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Provides: debconf-2.0 Package-Type: udeb [...] ------snap----------------- Source package has optional, also has the 'cdebconf' binary package, and the udeb has standard. I this somehow intended? Has is some effect? udebs are 'micro binary packages' by definition, so they don't need the Priority field themselves, they inherit the value from Source package, right? Any other intention, especially why the udeb has standard, while source has optional?
