They can go in both. You can assign a package to multiple virtual locations. Other thing is: We have to set up a distinct amount of locations (like this is done for the menu package).

Who will have the power to edit a (to someone misplaced) entry. The approach he suggested is incremental. It does work most efficiently, when all packages define _one_ new line in the control file. If they don't, the system would sort them into <section>/misc (or such). Them a mass wishlist bugreport is sent to the developers asking to provide the line in their packages (like it was done for the doc-base suggestion). We ocasionally do release now versions don't we ;-) So when time passes, the packages will move from /misc to better locations. Ciao, Martin
