Are you sure?  On my system, the only package registering to "TeX" was
tetex-bin, and considered this a bug, because the doc-base documentation
says

,----
| Section
| 
|     Section where the document belongs; this should follow the
|     sections outlined in The Debian Menu sub-policy.
`----

I think this is a bad decision, because documentation for non-menu
things won't fit in well there.  But if we have to choose, "Text" is the
proper place for TeX things, I guess.


On the other hand, it's not uncommon in Debian to change things by just
doing it differently, so we could as well use "TeX".  What do others
think?
