Bug#810878: creepy: Section should not be “python”

Package: creepy
Version: 1.4.1-3
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 ‘creepy’ 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 belongs in a section like
the “net” or perhaps “misc” section.

Please set the field “Section” appropriately on this package.


Since the package is already in Debian under 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>.

If the Python libraries are of separate interest to Python
programmers, please consider building separate ‘creepy’ and
‘python3-creepy’ packages. (I can file a bug report requesting that
also, if you like.)
