Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed

1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to "Get Software" > "Developer Tools" > "Python".
2. Scroll through the list.

What happens: "Printing"/"Configure Printers" (system-config-printer-gnome) appears in the list.
What should happen: It shouldn't be there.

This is because the system-config-printer-gnome package has "Section: python", which it should not. It's nothing particularly to do with Python, it just happens to be written in that language.

I suggest "Section: gnome".

Attaching debdiff to switch the section.
Forwarded the patch upstream as well, Not sure how keen Debian would be willing to make the switch too for an Ubuntu specific bug.
