Bug#144046: general: Sections are not finely grained
> No they wont. Keywords will be abused unless you restrict them,
If you had bothered to read my proposal by then, i planned to have a
keyword commitee which "designes" the available keywords.
This includes definition of their meaning. And so they could also notify
the translators when new keywords are added or their "definitions" are
changed. So this IS good for translation.

Translating the keywords is minimal in comparision to the DDTP Project,
already having translated thousands of package descriptions.
So these keywords wouldn't make much difference.
(i personally have translated a few hundred package descriptions and get
a dozen update requests a month when descriptions are changed. this
still is little work.)

you might even consider some game libraries like clanlib etc. as "game",
which are of no use to a use that just want's to play a few rounds.
Automatically generated indizes are more error prone than "moderated"
ones. that is a matter of fact.
