According to <URL:https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gitit>,
it is “Section: haskell” in every available version in Debian.

In earlier releases, the “Package: gitit” stanza is missing the
“Section” field (so the binary package defaults to the section declared
for the source package):

    <URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/gitit/0.10.4-2/debian/control/>
    <URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/gitit/0.10.0.1-1/debian/control/>
    <URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/gitit/0.7.3.6-1/debian/control/>

The “0.10.7-4” and “0.11.1.1-2” releases have corrected the
‘debian/control’ fields, but the archive still knows the previous
section. When the two conflict, the package stays in the section where
it was.

You'll need to submit a request to move the package to a different
section.

    To alter the actual section that a package is put in, you need to
    first make sure that the debian/control file in your package is
    accurate. Next, submit a bug against ftp.debian.org requesting
    that the section or priority for your package be changed from the
    old section or priority to the new one. Use a Subject like
    override: PACKAGE1:section/priority, [...],
    PACKAGEX:section/priority, and include the justification for the
    change in the body of the bug report.

    For more information about override files, see dpkg-scanpackages(1)
    and https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#maintincorrect.
