[Deborphan-devel] Bug#870901: deborphan: priority:extra is deprecated

Package: deborphan

Priority:extra is deprecated starting with the Debian Policy 4.0.1.
https://browse.dgit.debian.org/debian-policy.git/commit/?id=4b3e61ac3fa06d8b82433e09a76f42a4f8859306

deborphan uses the peculiar 'oldlibs/extra' section/priority couple to
detect transitional packages and such.  Please start using
oldlibs/optional as well.

See also https://bugs.debian.org/870899 in developers-reference about
changing the suggestion.
