Package: doc-base
Version: 0.8.8
Severity: normal
Hi,
In doc-base.html, section 2.3.2.1, we read:
Section
Section where the document belongs; this should follow the
sections outlined in chapter 3.5 of "Debian Menu Policy", which
can be found in the /usr/share/doc/menu/html directory. Required
field.
The Debian Menu Sub-policy only deals with applications (and rightly
so). Doc-base, however, needs to define sections for non-application
packages.
For example, Debian-related docs such as the constitution and policies
are currently found in Section Debian. This appears to have been
sanctioned at one time (but no longer?):
doc-base (0.4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* moved Section for our own documentation from Apps/Programming to
Debian

I also see Sections Book, Doc, Faq, Rfc, Manpages, and Standards.
Such non-application packages should be accomodated somehow.
Thanks,
-Steve
