Missing or incorrect section in packages
Greetings all,
I have recently noticed that many binary packages does not have correct
Section: declaration (either missing or disagree with the override file)
and this problem is causing apt-move to drop packages. I have counted
51 packages in stable-updates that resides in main but has non-US listed
in the Section header; and 110 or so binary packages in stable that does
not have Section declared. I would like some opinions on:
1. Does everyone agree that this is a problem to be addressed?
Policy seems to be vague regarding whether Section declaration in
control file is mandated or optional.
2. If yes, what is the best way do address the issue? Are there
better ways than mass-filing bugs?
Regards,
