Historically, policy's called "main/contrib/non-free" sections, and
"base/admin/mail/etc" subsections; which is confused by the fact that
"Section: admin" has an implied section and only explicitly lists the
subsection.

The terms suite and component are a convenient way of disambiguating that,
since they didn't and don't have any alternate meanings.
