As the /package page states, the reason for classifying packages is simply
to keep the directory from getting too big.  With that in mind, why agonize
over how to classify packages when it has already been done?  For example,
Debian GNU/Linux and FreeBSD already have a huge selection of packages that
are classified by category:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/

The FreeBSD ports categorization scheme seems very close to what is trying
to be achieved with the /package categorization.
