Dear maintainer(s) of whiptail,

the override file at https://deb.debian.org/debian/indices/override.sid.main.gz
states that whiptail has priority "important", while its debian/control
file states "Priority: optional".

Please update debian/control to match the value set by the FTP team.

If you think that the value used in the override is wrong, use the
following command to reassign this bug:

    bts reassign [THIS-BUG-NUMBER] to ftp.debian.org , \
      retitle it "override: whiptail:utils/optional" , \
      user ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org , \
      usertag it override

Regards,
