Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

seems to be the canonical list of sections and their descriptions. I assume
this is
under the purview of ftp-masters. If not, please re-assign.
Most programming-language specific sections have a description of the form
Everything about <language>.
This doesn't tell me much.
To be specific, the packages being put into, say "python", seem to fall into two
broad categories:
1. programs written in python: e.g. agtl, custodia, mat, openstack-dashboard
2. programs and libraries useful to people developing in python: e.g. cython,
pypy,
python-*, twistedchecker
My personal opinion is that there is no point putting class 1 into "python". If
you agree, the description should probably reflect that.
Suggestion:
Development tools and libraries useful to people developing in <language>
I was also pondering "... useful to <language> developers" but this could be
mis-read as people developing the language itself.
