Me too... I found http://packages.debian.org/sid/ where these sections
are explained.
Text Processing (text)
Utilities to format and print text documents.
Utilities (utils)
Utilities for file/disk manipulation, backup and archive tools,
system monitoring, input systems, etc.
So utils seems better choice.
I guess uim being Japanese centric and heavy on disctionary search, they
may ave joined with aspell.

I was wondering about this sometime ago. Your message prompted me to
rethink...
