commit ea503e80821f07f3e6ded54a6e2c70ef2230b5c3
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@iki.fi>
Date:   Tue Oct 21 15:56:44 2025 +0530

    Remove bsdutils from essential package set check (Closes: #1118442)

commit 94a730cba86464c34e3b6facffde28aeca61e579
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Sep 18 02:09:18 2025 +0530

    Remove Priority field from debian-native template to avoid adding tags for a large number of tests. Also adjust a few tests.
    
    iA lot of (mostly old) tests use --pedantic option with lintian and this
    new pedantic check causes many of them to fail as a result.
    
    Hence removed "Priority: optional" in the template to avoid adjusting
    almost many tests.

commit c978f0282d98864d5d1badeeeb739b2057c0b873
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Sep 18 02:07:43 2025 +0530

    Priority is set to "optional" by default, even if omitted since dpkg 1.22.12
    
    As mentioned in man/deb-src-control.pod:
    
    Sets the importance of this package in relation to the system as a whole.
    The known priorities are B<required>, B<important>, B<standard>, B<optional>,
    B<extra>, and B<unknown>, but other values can be used as well.
    
    When omitted,
    the I<priority> defaults to B<optional>
    (since dpkg 1.22.13).

commit 5c5c8ebbb75723834d8aabd1bf4d86ab77570dd2
