Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.2
Severity: minor

Hi,

just saw this lintian warning:

W: faumachine: unknown-section otherosfs
N: 
N:    The "Section:" field in this package's control file is not one of the
N:    sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin,
N:    comm, cli-mono, database, debug, devel, doc, editors, electronics,
N:    embedded, fonts, games, gnome, gnu-r, gnustep, graphics, hamradio,
N:    haskell, httpd, interpreters, java, kde, libdevel, libs, lisp,
N:    localization, kernel, mail, math, misc, net, news, ocaml, oldlibs,
N:    otherosfs, perl, php, python, ruby, science, shells, sound, tex, text,
N:    utils, vcs, video, web, x11, xfce, zope.
N:    
N:    The section name should be preceded by "non-free/" if the package is in
N:    the non-free archive area, and by "contrib/" if the package is in the
N:    contrib archive area.
N:    
N:    Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 2.4 (Sections) for details.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N:    
N:    Check: fields, Type: binary, udeb, source

Somehow the information contradicts the warning.

P.S.: Maybe this check is there to ensure that no AI will ever upload? :).

Cheers and thanks for your work on lintian,
   Stefan.

   * checks/*:
     + [NT] Dropped fields from Needs-Info, it is no longer needed.
     + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules
       LANG.  (Closes: #637595)
     + [JW] Removed all whitespace lines to avoid confusing some
       dctrl parsers (notably grep-dctrl).  (Closes: #639928)
     + [JW] Fix a number of broken references in the tag
       descriptions.  (Closes: #639923)
     + [JW] Rewrote Debian Bug references using #nnnnnn notation.
   * checks/binaries.desc:
     + [NT] Remove the reference to the Library Packaging Guide,
       since it is no longer available (in Debian).  (Closes: #640228)
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [JW] Remove debmake-specific tag in favour of more general
       debian-changelog-file-contains-invalid-email-address.
       (Closes: #639946)
     + [JW,NT] Fixed use of uninitialized value as hash key.
       (Closes: #640238)
     + [NT] Mention that the missing native changelog tag can, in
       some cases, be emitted if it does not look like a Debian
       changelog.
   * checks/{conffile,etcfiles}{,.desc}:
     + [JW] Merged etcfiles into conffile.  (Closes: #637590)
   * checks/conffile:
     + [NT] Skip all checks if "conffiles" is a symlink.
   * checks/control-files{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Check that all members of the control.tar.gz are either
       regular files or directories.
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [JW] Check for CRLF line endings in copyright files.
       (Closes: #634191)
     + [JW] Extended helper-templates-in-copyright and ensure it is
       only emitted once per package.
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Recognise /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk as a cdbs-based
       build.  This prevents false-positive "unneeded cdbs" warning.
     + [JW] Check for use of the obsolete dh_installmanpages debhelper
       program.  Thanks to Joey Hess for the report.  (Closes: #634112).

     + [JW] Replace debmake-specific tag with more general
       readme-debian-contains-invalid-email-address.

   * checks/duplicate-files{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Replace the exception for "__init__.py" files by excluding
       all empty files from the check.  The bug (#632789) only requests
       an exception for "empty __init__.py" files and generally empty
       files are unlikely to cause a serious size-waste.
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Mention that perl modules included in perl itself should
       be the first dependency if it is only included in the perl
       from experimental.  Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
       report and the patch.  (Closes: #637793)
     + [NT] Warn about (build)depending/recommending on packaging-dev.
       Thanks to Luk Claes for the report and the initial patch.
       (Closes: #629308)
     + [NT] Also emit bad-homepage if the Homepage URL does not seem to
       be using a known protocol (for homepages).  (Closes: #580427)
     + [JW] Bumped the severity of "no-human-maintainers", since it is
       now a Policy "must" directive.  (Closes: #640856)
     + [JW,NT] If superfluous-clutter-in-homepage has been emitted,
       ignore the surrounding "<>" for the rest of the homepage checks.
       (Closes: #640947)
     + [NT] Added check for Build-Depending on libdbX.Y-dev (and related
       packages.  Most packages should be able to use unversioned -dev

       tag description.  (Closes: #624434)
   * checks/{filename-length,rules}.desc:
     + [NT] Improved the descriptions of some tags.  (Closes: #639018)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Added exceptions to "extra-license-file" for manpages,
       static libraries, .pc-, elf and pyshared-data-files.  This
       covers all the false-positives currently found in the liblicense
       package.  (Closes: #617901)
     + [NT] Ignore non-ELF files in multiarch paths, when checking for
       a missing pre-depends on multiarch-support.  Thanks to Sven
       Joachim for the report.  (Closes: #639735)
     + [NT] Added check for packages that only ships files in /usr/share
       and are not marked "Architecture: all".  Thanks to Evgeni Golov,
       Carl Fürstenberg and Jari Aalto for the suggestions.
       (Closes: #574689)
     + [JW] Do not emit third-party-package-in-python-dir for packages built
       from python{,3}-{stdlib-extensions,profiler,old-doctools} sources.
       Add reference to Python Policy in the tag description.
       (Closes: #640211)
     + [JW] Add check for Vim addons installing files into a directory
       within Vim runtime path.  (Closes: #640371)
     + [NT] Added check for Perl modules using perl4 libs without depending
       on libperl4-core-libs-perl.  Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
       initial patch.

       find the list of valid doc-base sections.  (Closes: #584280)
   * checks/patch-systems:

       it is more accurate than diffstat for this.  (Closes: #640131)
   * checks/rules:
     + [NT] Do a simple and minimal variable tracking.  In very simple
       cases, it can determine which targets a variable contains (when
       the variable is used as a target).  (Closes: #638411)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Remove script-calls-init-script-directly.  (Closes: #617959)

       system time.
   * checks/version-substvars{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Also emit the any-depends-all tag if the ">=" relation is
       used.  Thanks to Konstantinos Margaritis and Cyril Brulebois for
       the report and the research.  (Closes: #639144)

     + [NT] Removed, no longer used.
   * collection/changelog-file:
     + [NT] Double check changelogs that does not explicitly contains
       "debian" in the filename.  This should avoid a myriad of syntax
       error tags in some cases (such as perl), where the Debian
       changelog is not present and there is an upstream changelog.
 .
   * data/fields/archive-sections:
     + [NT] Fixed a typo in "otherosfs" section name.  Thanks to
       Stefan Potyra for the report.  (Closes: #637596)

     + [NT] Refreshed.
   * data/output/manual-references:
     + [JW] Refreshed.
   * data/rules/known-makefiles:
     + [JW] Added Makefiles from (the future) dpkg.  (Closes: #640921)
   * data/spelling/corrections{,-multiword}:
     + [NT] Added some corrections for "remove" etc.  Thanks to
       Jakub Wilk for spotting those.
     + [JW,NT] Added more corrections.
       (Closes: #639367, #640149, #613604)
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [NT] (Build-)Depends on patchutils for lsdiff.
   * debian/copyright:
     + [NT] Added Jakub Wilk to maintainers.
   * debian/rules:
     + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules
       LANG.
 .
   * doc/lintian.xml:
     + [NT] Removed duplicate "allowed to" in same sentence.
     + [NT] Added a paragraph on some of the constrains in design

     + [NT] New file.  Thanks to Jeremiah C. Foster for the initial
       contribution.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [NT] Lintian now mentions if overrides may have been ignored.
       This happens if a package contains an override for a tag
       that has been marked "non-overridable" by the current vendor
       profile.
     + [NT] Mention ".changes" as a valid file type in the "unknown
       file" error.  Thanks to Michael Gilbert for the report and
       the patch.   (Closes: #639430)
     + [NT] Always display a given tag if requested with --tags
       or --tags-from-file.  Previously, pedantic and experimental
       tags were not shown unless the relevant options were also
       passed.
     + [JW,NT] Fixed a regression where --check-part ignored display
       settings (such as --display-info).  (Closes: #640694)
     + [NT] If both --verbose and --quiet is used together, then use
       the last of them to appear rather than "both at the same time".
       (Closes: #640366)
     + [NT] Accept --quiet in lintianrc as "quiet".  This option may
       not be used together with "verbose" in the config file.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [NT] Catch "Name <Name <Email>>" as a malformed email address.
       (Closes: #640489)

   * lib/Lintian/Collect.pm:
     + [JW,NT] Create the source field from the package field if the
       former is not present.  This fixes a number of false-positves
       introduced in 2.5.2.  (Closes: #640186)
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
     + [NT] Removed a requirement for fields that was not needed.
     + [NT] Fixed "index" method for source packages.
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Package.pm:

     + [NT] Reject profiles containing an unknown field.
   * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
     + [JW] Create links for references pointing to files in html
       output.
     + [JW] Parse "#nnnnnn" references as links to Debian bugs.
   * lib/Lintian/Tag/Override.pm:
     + [NT] New file.
   * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
     + [NT] Track which tags had overrides that have been dropped.
     + [NT,RG] Collect override comments and print the comments
       above the overridden tag (with --show-overrides).  Thanks
       to Carl Fürstenberg for the report.  (Closes: #474590)
     + [NT] Remove the "respect-display-level" code.  It is not as
       useful as intended.
   * lib/Text_utils.pm:
     + [NT] Close <p>-tags in dtml_to_html since the output is used
       in xhtml (xml), where all tags must be closed properly.
       (Closes: #639292)
     + [NT] Remove the last new line (if any) before a </pre> in tag
       to reduce the empty space to the next paragraph.
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules
       LANG.
     + [JW] Stricten the DCtrl parser to choke on some syntax errors
       that were silently ignored.  (Closes: #639516)
 .
   * man/lintian.pod.in:
     + [JW] Fixed some stray POD markup.  (Closes: #640705)
     + [JW,NT] Clarified that --tags and --tags-from-file ignores
       display settings.
     + [NT] Documented how lintian behaves if --quiet is used together
       with --verbose or --debug.
     + [NT] Documented how --verbose and --quiet can be enabled via
       the config file.  Only one of "verbose" and "quiet" may
       appear in the config file.
 .
   * profiles/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject.profile:
     + [NT] Refreshed to include udeb-uses-non-gzip-data-tarball.
 .
