The topic of package sections has apparently come up once more on debian-devel. It seems everyone agrees that the current method of putting packages in one of 10 or so sections is not good enough for the huge amount of packages we have accumulated. There have been proposals of using keywords to make it easy to search for packages, and people suggesting that we make the sections more hierarchical and add subsections. However with the new menu-system as introduced by Joost I was wondering if we could use his dynamic menu system for packages as well? We could use our existing sections, perhaps add a second hierarchy level and use keywords in the same way the menu system uses hints? Joost, can you give this some thought to see if this would be useful?
