Package: vitables
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The section “python” is for packages that install the Python
programming language or libraries. Its packages are primarily of
interest only to Python programmers.
The package ‘vitables’ installs primarily an application, of interest
regardless of the programming language. It should not be in the
“python” section.
By the section descriptions, this package may belong in section
“science” or “utils”.
Please set the field “Section” appropriately on this package.
Since the package is already in Debian with a different section, you
will also need to submit a request to override the existing section
<URL:https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#override-file>.
Then mark this bug report as blocked by that new one.
