The "whois" package has "Priority: standard".
According to the Debian policy[*]:
standard
These packages provide a reasonably small but not too limited
character-mode system. This is what will be installed by default
if the user doesn’t select anything else. It doesn’t include many
large applications.
Two packages that both have a priority of standard or higher must
not conflict with each other.

So, why isn't this package installed by default?
