[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#591102: iw: priority should be "optional"

Package: iw
Version: 0.9.19-1
Severity: important
Justification: policy §2.5

aircrack-ng depends on iw, but the former is optional and the latter of
priority "extra".  Please bump up the priority of iw to optional to
match.

Actually my motivation has nothing to do with that; it is instead that
such a generally useful package as iw should not be allowed to conflict
with ordinary packages in Debian.  The above explanation just allows me
to report it as a bug instead of a feature request. ;-)

No package in Debian conflicts on iw that I can see, so this change
should be safe.

Thanks for iw!
Jonathan
