Package: general
Severity: wishlist
Debian needs a new Packages section, named gis, or perhaps geography or
cartography, to prevent the mapping related packages from being
scattered in sections graphics and science, and misc, etc.? as at present.
Package: gpsman
Section: misc
Package: grass
Section: science
Package: shapelib
Section: graphics
etc.

Recently the ftp team decided to add new secitons to the archive[1], but
decided that the section you requested wasn't warranted. We'd recommend
that instead you make sure that packages which would go into your
requested section are instead tagged appropriately using debtags[2]
thanks,
