Re: Overrides file additions

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

I've taken all the packages I'd put in x11 just because they used x
and some from devel that were there just because they were used for
the relevant kind of development rather than runtime and moved them
into (mainly) graphics.

They daily cron job bombed out last night, so I haven't had a check on
lack of correspondence between directory in the archive and Section in
the packages files yet.  This will happen soon, I hope.

I'll post a revised list of changes soon.

Ian.
