Package: knot-libs
Version: 1.5.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I noticed this package turning up in backports under Section: net.
This is wrong, and may cause trouble for (e.g.) deborphan. It happens
because the source-package stanza defines "net" as the default Section
and then knot-libs fails to override it.
It also has an unconventional name, though I'm surprised to see that
Policy and DevRef delegate the deprecation of this sort of name to
http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html#naminglibpkg
The descriptions (short and long) need some work too, but for now I'm
just giving a patch for the bug in the Subject line.
