To follow up to my last comment, about not knowing why the Section
field was empty, it appears that I was confused about the earlier
report.  I had gotten the impression that the Section field wasn't empty
in the package list file, but that's not true:
/var/lib/apt/lists/local/_var_local_mirror_..._Packages contains this
stanza:

Package: gsfonts-other
Section:
Installed-Size: 1728
 (...)

  This seems to be from

deb file:/var/local/mirror/debian/ unknown main contrib non-free

  in sources-local.list.  So in fact apt is not buggy in this case;
the Packages file is just unusual and hitting a bad corner case of
aptitude's grouping code.  (in case you're curious, it looks like
the ldso stanza also has an empty Section)

  This should work in the next upload of aptitude.  Thanks for the
report.

  Daniel
