The section in the control file is your suggestion for the section; the Debian archive administrators will override it as necessary. In this case, they changed it to contrib/x11, because it's an X program. (If you think this is bad, you might want to discuss it on debian-policy.) Your control file entry will not matter from now on, although it would be best if you changed it to say contrib/x11, because that's what people see if they do "dpkg-deb -I filename.deb" on your package.
