Humanly speaking, what are sections used for, currently? I know that the frontpage in packages.d.o uses them, but what an user thinks about the section concept? We especially have a problem with “multiple sections” packages. I talked with Sune on this, and for Xfce (if there was an Xfce section) I couldn't say which packages would be in there and which ones wouldn't. I guess that problem (and maybe one solution) leads to tags? Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
