Hi, Simon. Author/maintainer here. Please note that my email address recently changed. The new one will be reflected in my next package upload.

Back when I was first packaging joystickwake (it was more than a few years ago) I was unsure of which section to use, too. I considered utils, but since joystickwake is neither a command line tool nor interactive, it didn't seem to fit with the packages that are already in utils. I considered x11, but since joystickwake doesn't depend on X11, that seemed inaccurate. However, I see that some Wayland packages are now in the x11 section, so maybe that would be an appropriate section for joystickwake after all? I chose games mainly for visibility: Joystickwake is specifically for use with games, and would be pointless elsewhere, so having it listed in the games section seemed like a decent way to help people who need it discover it. Sadly, I was unable to find any guidance in the Debian policy docs on what qualifies a package for each archive section. Would misc would be a better choice than games? I would be happy to change it if I knew what section would be acceptable to the Debian developers.
