Yeah, I guess those are implied. I was avoiding putting Other on the  
list as I wanted to encourage people to either use a valid category,  
or get whatever category they want to use (and believe should be  
valid) onto the list, rather than having user/other as a catch-all  
fallback section for lazy packagers.

So while they should be valid, localized sections from h-a-m's point  
of view, they shouldn't be valid sections for packages (I don't want  
to see any debs with user/other or user/all ;)).
