Yes, but we use the section in the control file unless we feel it's
blatantly wrong (which is, thankfully, rare). So please do use
whatever section you want the package to end up in...
Oh, to answer the original question, I would say x11 for the sake of
consistency and because I, personally, think of graphics as display
(xloadimage) and editing programs (gimp), etc., but not
non-productivity docklets. That's my opinion, minus my ftpmaster hat,
YMMV.
