Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.096
Severity: wishlist
If the Standards-Version is already on 4.0.1 at least, when fixing
debian/control (dpkg-control) the values of
Priority: extra
should be fixed up/migrated to
Priority: optional
This would be inline to the upgrading-checklist for 4.0.1:
2.5
Priorities are now used only for controlling which packages are
part of a minimal or standard Debian installation and should be
selected based on functionality provided directly to users (so
nearly all shared libraries should have a priority of optional).
Packages may now depend on packages with a lower priority.
The extra priority has been deprecated and should be treated as
equivalent to optional. All extra priorities should be changed to
optional. Packages with a priority of optional may conflict with
each other (but packages that both have a priority of standard or
higher still may not conflict).
