I read: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities as suggesting that -dev packages are generally more "extra-ish" than "optional", but then again, i think of workstations set up for software development as having "specialized requirements" compared with what most computers might reasonably want to install: >> optional >> >> (In a sense everything that isn't required is optional, but that's >> not what is meant here.)

I personally develop software, and i maintain many computers (for myself, even), and i definitely *don't* want most of my computers to include the -dev packages. I'm happy to go with whatever the ftp-master team prefers, though. :) --dkg signature.asc Description: PGP signature

There was an open bug about changing the overrides (#849903) and I just set all packages built from gpgme1.0 to "Priority: optional". I don't think there is any reason for the lib*-dev packages to be at Priority: extra? Ansgar
