That's what it means by general section as far as I can tell.

Source: tasksel
Section: base
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>
Uploaders: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.5.6.0

That's how I tried it, no go. dpkg-gencontrol does not contain the word
'[Uu]ploaders' on my system either.
