Package search page confuses "Sections" with "Components"

[mpb]

On this page: https://packages.ubuntu.com/

In: "Search package directories"

There are select menus for "Distribution" and "Section".

However, the "Section" menu does not contain sections. Instead, it contain "Components".

main, universe, multiverse and restricted are all components. They are not sections.

This is confusing because in the context of Debian packages, “Section” has a separate and distinct meaning.

For reference, see the sources.list man page.

To correct this problem, change "Section" to "Component".

You are very right on that, the wording is confusing here and simply wrong. Will get changed in the future.
