Establishing subsections?
Or as a section name?
Either way, we should use "science/math", "science/pysics",
"science/biology", "science/whatever..." as well then.
I think geography&co neatly fits into the current science section.

I'd consider this section much too special.
Why not sort out which category (science IMHO)
is the right one and migrate there?

Bug#220289: general: make a new section: gis, for Geographic Information System packages

2003-11-11 Thread Dan Jacobson
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.
