I do not see an urgent need to change the section. If you think that
Yorick can be useful in scientific areas other than maths the "science"
section seems to be a good candidate. I do not think "interpreter" is
not the right section to put it in.

In the end, it does not have much of an effect, I guess. But this is the
kind of dilemma debtags tries to solve. Hope we will have them used
archive-wide at some point in time.

Since this is no urgent change, I suggest you simply change it in the
next regular upload.
