One way to split it could be by interface. As I see it we have a number of
different interfaces in Debian:
Command Line
Ncurses/Slang
X11
Athena
Gnome
Enlightenment
GNUstep
Other
and KDE outside of Debian.
As a user I might say that I am only interested in the command line stuff, I
never use X11. Or I could say that I am a Gnome user, I am not interested in
the other interfaces.
Just a thought.
