No argument here. I guess I was misled by the section description in 
aptitude:

 Packages in the 'web' section include Web browsers, Web servers and 
 proxies, software to write CGI scripts or Web-based programs, 
 pre-written Web-based programs, and other software related to the 
 World Wide Web.

This, and 'static site generator' made me think section 'web' would be 
appropriate.

This all makes perfect sense. Thanks you for your explanation.
