Packages in wrong location?



Good day folks!

Yesterday I grepped through our source directory on master where I
found some remarkable things:

There are many packages left (lost?) in the misc-directory that I
would place on locations as they do belong to a group that has a
directory on its own. There are similar files that I noticed in other
directories that IMHO belong into a different directory.

misc/less	-->	text/less
misc/most	-->	text/most
misc/mawk	-->	devel/mawk
misc/patch	-->	devel/patch
misc/jargon	-->	doc/jargon	(or text/jargon like wenglish)
misc/setterm	-->	base/setterm	(like setserial)

graphic/tgif	-->	x11/tgif	\
					  As both programs are graphic
					  utilities for the X Window
					  System, IMHO they should go
					  in the same directory.
x11/xpaint	-->	graphic/xpaint	/

misc/dialog	-->	base/dialog	(??)

Could you state some comments on it? Thanks.

If the location is wron, shall I file each as a bugreport?

Have a pleasant weekend y'all,

	Joey
