[Python-modules-team] Bug#832192: Bug#832192: celeryd: Section should not be “python”

I'm not a DD, but here I go butting in with an opinion anyway!

Surely if there's no bug in the section declaration then there must be
a bug in the package description, which insists that it isn't intended
to be Python-specific:

# Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented
# in any language. It can also operate with other languages using
# webhooks.

It seems to me that either this claim should be taken out, or the
package should go in a section where non-Pythonists have a chance of
finding it - preferably alongside ansible and dbus and procps in
"admin".  Sure, it isn't exclusively for sysadmins, but that isn't
what the section description says.

Any ideas what section this package should go into?

I don't really care myself, however don't want to move it somewhere and
find that I need to move it again.

Thanks.
