But I am, for example, using linuxfromscratch, where catogories 
aren't. What I was talking about is, that I may put windowmaker 
in gui, but somebody other put it into sys. And now, if third 
package cannot exactly say, where it should look for libwraster 
library (provided by windowmaker).
There is not simply and allways_right way to specify category - 
unless author says where it is. But I have never seen note about 
slashpackage on sites like php.net.
Btw. why is not qmail in /package/mail/qmail ? It is one of top 
used MTA, so everybody using it will know about existence of 
something like slashpackage ?
