Hmm. From a taxonomic standpoint, I don't like this, because now when I'm talking about sections, I could either mean "non-free" or "base". Even worse, I would speak of the "non-free section of the slink distribution", which implies that non-free is part of Debian per se. However, this latter complaint is a complaint with the status quo situation also. Guy's recommendation also has the benefit of bring 'debian/control' usage into line with terminology. So as I see it, Guy votes for keeping status quo, but remove the taxonomic distinction (i.e., flatten the terms for) 'section' and 'subsection'. Thoughts? I think I agree with Guy, but I want more backing before I open a bug against policy and the packaging manual and fix the developers reference. .....A. P.
