I'm not a DD, but here I go butting in with an opinion anyway!

Surely if there's no bug in the section declaration then there must be
a bug in the package description, which insists that it isn't intended
to be Python-specific:

# Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented
# in any language. It can also operate with other languages using
# webhooks.

It seems to me that either this claim should be taken out, or the
package should go in a section where non-Pythonists have a chance of
finding it - preferably alongside ansible and dbus and procps in
"admin".  Sure, it isn't exclusively for sysadmins, but that isn't
what the section description says.
