If you ask me personally, I think lintian is fine as it is! I'd
probably just update the section descriptions to clarify this, and
prepare a mass override request for ftp-masters. But I'd like to hear
from the reporters and others who complained about the secion change
to know whether they have been convinced by the arguments? :)

At the same time, being this now the nth time I've gone over all
section names/descriptions, I'm strongly considering trying to push
forward a way to make dak expose them or package them so that we only
need to modify in one or two places instead of many.

Thanks,
