Bug Description
Binary package hint: automake1.7
In Ubuntu Software Center, in departments that have a large number of packages, the list is categorized into sub-departments. Developer Tools makes use of subldepartments (e.g., IDEs, Java, Libraries, Version Control) but Automake is not in any of the subdepartments.
Automake is selectable in the full list of packages:
Ubuntu Software Center -> Get Software
Select Developer Tools department
Automake is one of the packages in list of 1,866 packages.
Though one can search for automake (entering it in the search field in the top-right search field), shouldn't it be in one of the sub-department / categories?

For Automake to end up in a subcategory, here's what would need to happen. Either:
a. Devise an appropriate Debian Section value for it and related packages
b. Apply that Section value to automake and related packages.
Or:
a. Get bug 57418 fixed in Launchpad.
b. Devise, and apply, an appropriate debtag for automake and related packages.
Then:
c. Get the new subcategory implemented in USC, with appropriate icon and name.
