because that's what the package d/control file says:
https://salsa.debian.org/blends-team/debichem/-/blob/master/debian/control

the actual effect of the overrides file having a different section
than `metapackages` is that the py2removal tracking program wont
ignore those packages (as removing a package that's a dep of a
metapackage is "okay") and thus we dont mark leaf packages as such.

Please let me know if this clarification suffices and you can proceed.
