'Music & Audio' category is slightly odd - should be 'Music & Video'?

Like "Beer & Wine" is weird? It is actually quite common (at least in the US), to separate Beer & Wine from Liquor. Some states have different licenses for sale of beer/wine versus liquor, and have state-controlled liquor stores, while beer/wine may be available at convenience and grocery stores.

As for "Music & Audio", there is also the "Media & Video" department. I think the main problem here is that a very large number of apps in the store though, do not have their department set correctly, and so show up in weird places (such as YouTube scope being under the Music department, rather than the Video department.

Click Package Index only returns the Departments that are fed to it from Software Center Agent - it is not a canonical source of data. But we can't just update the Departments in Software Center Agent either - the current list was given to us by Victor Palau, I believe, so any tweaks to the categries should be agreed with him first.

Where this might affect CPI is if existing Departments that already have Packages are removed - then there'd be a risk of Packages becoming orphaned. I think there are constraints on the SCA DB to prevent this, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Okay - well Music is a type of Audio - Beer is not a type of Wine so it's
slightly different. But I agree that the problem is in the click package
index. Certainly media player shouldn't be in this category
