However, Priority: extra has been deprecated for a long time and we
should not use it anymore. I see that you are not using Priority: extra
in debian/control file.

You may need to submit an override request against Debian FTP Masters (see
https://wiki.debian.org/FtpMaster/Override ) to solve this problem.

This has been fixed quite some time ago, quietly, without
even an entry in d/changelog, but the debdiff shows the
difference.  It is now Priority: optional.

Closing this bug report now.

Thanks,
