section for packages with libs



Hi,

in which section should be packages they don't contain any executables or
documentations (like apt-howto-en)? The packages libcurses-widgets-perl
and libcdk-perl are in the section interpreters, but they aren't
interpreters. They contain only libraries and the documentation for the
package, likewise the name suggests they are libraries. The maintainer
says, they aren't libs, (#172471, #172472) but they don't contain any
executable files.

In another case, the maintainer agrees with me. #166835, #166836

What is correct? What says the policy?

Joerg.
