** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: devscripts
  
  The update-maintainer script used to detect the used section
  automatically, but fails to do so since a few weeks.
  
  update-maintainer uses e.g. "rmadison -u ubuntu -a source apt -s hardy"
  and greps the output with grep -Eo
  "main|universe|multiverse|restricted".
  
  It seems like the output from rmadison or http://people.ubuntu.com
  /~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi has changed, because it does not contain
  any section information (anymore?).
+ 
+ Is this the case only for some packages (e.g. those in main)?
+ $ rmadison -u ubuntu -a source apt -s hardy
+        apt | 0.7.9ubuntu2 |         hardy | source
+ $ rmadison -u ubuntu -a source ktoon -s hardy
+      ktoon |    0.8.1-3 | hardy/universe | source
