Agreed. Those look misplaced. Does anyone disagree? For reference, the
text we're talking about is:
The category and section for each package should be specified in the
package's `Section' control record (see Section 5.6.5, ``Section'').
However, the maintainer of the Debian archive may override this
selection to ensure the consistency of the Debian distribution. The
`Section' field should be of the form:
* _section_ if the package is in the _main_ category,
* _segment/section_ if the package is in the _contrib_ or
_non-free_ distribution areas.
The Debian archive maintainers provide the authoritative list of
sections. At present, they are: _admin_, _base_, _comm_, _contrib_,
_devel_, _doc_, _editors_, _electronics_, _embedded_, _games_,
_gnome_, _graphics_, _hamradio_, _interpreters_, _kde_, _libs_,
_libdevel_, _mail_, _math_, _misc_, _net_, _news_, _non-free_,
_oldlibs_, _otherosfs_, _perl_, _python_, _science_, _shells_,
_sound_, _tex_, _text_, _utils_, _web_, _x11_.
I believe contrib and non-free should be removed from the list in the last
paragraph, as they're categories not sections.
