Bug#707295: libmac-widgets-java: Priority should be optional not extra

[Markus Koschany]

Package: libmac-widgets-java
Version: 0.9.5+svn369-dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

please raise the priority from libmac-widgets-java from extra to
optional. According to Policy Section 2.5 packages MUST
NOT depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding
build-time dependencies) nor should packages of priority optional (or
higher) conflict with each other.

In this case the optional package mediathekview depends on libmac-widgets-java
whereas the latter is priority extra. However only specialized
packages like debugging symbols or packages which conflict with other
packages should be priority extra and this library is not one of them.

Thank you for maintaining libmac-widgets-java.

Regards,

Markus
