Bug Description
Binary package hint: agtl
Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed
1. In Ubuntu Software Center, select "View" > "All Software".
2. Navigate to "Get Software" > "Developer Tools" > "Python".
3. Navigate to "Get Software" > "Science & Engineering" > "Geography".
What happens:
2. "AdvancedCaching" is first in the "Python" list.
3. "AdvancedCaching" is not in the "Geography" list at all.
What should happen:
2. "AdvancedCaching" is not in the "Python" list at all.
2. "AdvancedCaching" is first in the "Geography" list.
This is because the agtl package has "Section: universe/python", which it should not, and its .desktop file does not say that it's in the Geography category.

Since this package originally comes from Debian and as such complies with Debian Policy 2.4 Sections, and Ubuntu policy states:
"Packages that originally came from the Debian archive will often not have Section fields matching the distribution area selected for them in Ubuntu. There is no need to change the package just for this; the maintainers of the Ubuntu archive can and will override its placement."

It is inappropriate to make this change to the package.
You do have a valid concern about the .desktop file, however the best place to address this would be with the debian maintainer of the package. Would you please open an upstream (debian) bug wrt the .desktop file.
