This isn't about selecting packages for our meta as of yet. The name of
this thread may be confusing, since we are only working on freedesktop
categorization right now.

Freedesktop categories are listed in the desktop file. For example, in
/usr/share/applications/ardour3.desktop, you will have a line that says:
   Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;

We are currently working on improving those categories for every desktop
file in a package belonging to the Debian sections: sound, graphics and
video (this may be extended in the future, as some multimedia
applications are probably outside these sections).
