Predictably enough, there are no hits for it on lintian.d.o, so renamed.
I've just spotted a use of "section" that might not be quite so easy to
change, however, namely the --section command line option. We could add
a --area option and make --section a synonym for it, or bite the bullet
and rename the option, possibly adding a NEWS.Debian file to alert
anyone who might have been using the current option.
