Hello,

I would like to request that the override file for eekboek be changed
to say optional instead of extra. Prior to this upload, the priority
listed in debian/control was extra. However, the override file for
eekboek-db-postgresql said optional. This caused
eekboek-db-postgresql, which depeneded on eekboek, to be in violation
of section 2.5 of the Debian policy [1], which stated, "Packages must
not depend on packages with lower priority values". We felt that the
best solution would be for both of these packages to have a priority
of optional. As a result, in versoin 1.04.03-1 [2], we changed the
priority listed in debian/control from extra to optional. Now, we need
the override file for eekboek changed to reflect this new priority.

Thanks,
Nathan Handler
