[maemo-community] [Council] Package categories

[From: Tim]

Productivity works for me.

Ok, so what if "Multimedia" was "Entertainment"? Or, do 'games' come
too close to that category as well? I could see 'multimedia' apps such
as MyPaint, GIMP, etc. falling into a "Drawing" category, but maybe
that much separation is unnecessary...?
