- Package is fixing High priority/Unbreak now bug.
- Package is dependency for new or existing Apertium language pair(s). For example: New version of apertium-fra-cat may depends on new apertium-fra and new apertium-cat, so we need to packages all of these 3 packages at once to get fra-cat pair update from upstream.
