Debian "Packages" web page confuses the terms "Sections" and "Components"

[Parke <parke.nexus@gmail.com>]

Hello, debian-www@lists.debian.org,

I believe the Debian "Packages" web page confuses the terms "Sections"
and "Components".

The page is here:
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Scroll down to: "Search package directories"

Note the following select menus:
Distribution: [stable]    Section: [any]

The "Section" menu contains the following options:  main, contrib,
non-free, and any.

main, contrib and non-free are components, not sections.

This is confusing because in the context of Debian packages, “Section”
has a separate and distinct meaning.

For reference, see the sources.list man page.

To correct this problem, consider changing "Section" to "Component"
(or to "Area"?).

Cheers,

Parke
