Package: git-review
Version: 1.15-1
Severity: minor

Judging from the package description, as well as the description of
the "python" section, this package doesn't really belong there
(<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/>):

  Everything about Python, an interpreted, interactive object oriented
  language.

The mismatch becomes even more blatant when considering the Section
description displayed in aptitude:

  Packages in the 'python' section provide the Python programming
  language and many third-party libraries for it. Unless you are a
  Python programmer, you don't need to install packages from this
  section explicitly; the package system will install them if they are
  required.

So, the implementation language should (IMO) not influence the
packages' Section, unless the package really is intended to extend the
development environment for that language (libraries, debuggers, code
analyzers, ...).

I guess a better Section for "git-review" would be "vcs".  Note that
this whole judgment is made from the package name and description; if
"git-review" indeed provides Python libraries for external use, this
should be made clear in the package description (and would warrant
another (additional) package name anyway).
