This field specifies an application area into which the package has been
classified.  See Note: Sections.

When it appears in the ‘debian/control’ file, it gives the value for the
subfield of the same name in the ‘Files’ field of the ‘.changes’ file.
It also gives the default for the same field in the binary packages.
