[Debian-ha-maintainers] corosync-dev section and priority

[Ferenc Wágner]

Hi,

https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/corosync.html says:

  There were override disparities found in suite unstable:
    corosync-dev: Override says libdevel - optional, .deb says oldlibs - extra

I've made a commit like

Subject: [PATCH] Resolve override disparity of corosync-dev

This is a transitional package now, not an "old version of a library, kept
for backward compatibility with old applications".  Thus oldlibs does not
seem like a good fit, even though the oldlibs section of the Debian archive
is full of transitional packages.  For the same reason, there's not much
point in overriding the priority either.

but became uncertain.  Should we respect tradition or the word of
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/ (which I may even misinterpret)? 
Also note that corosync-dev is not transitional is stable.
