(Get the code!)
That is, based on the information that have been available when the Priority was set, it should have not been high. It should never be high anyway, this is just a Warning (it's a W, a W, a W) after all. With the further information about the /var thing, it should maybe be medium.
But I don't see why this happens. What's the permission for the deb in question?
Side note: If you download stuff as a user, APT cannot drop permissions at all (because that requires root), so it won't show a warning and just run as a user. If you run it as root, it tries to play extra safe, but falls back to the APT 1.0 state of running the fetching code as root if that fails.
