+As I was saying earlier, no group classification is perfect. In the
+situation you describe, having pulseaudio in System/Base would be even
+more confusing. But if you were to choose between Sound/Editors and
+Convertors, Sound/Midi, Sound/Mixers, Sound/Players, Sound/Utilities,
+Sound/Visualization, where would you look first?
+
+You know none fits perfectly, I know that as well, even less for
+pulseaudio-module-jack or pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.
+
+But before everyting was in Sound: so confusing is maximum. Now it
+becomes a bit (but only a bit) easier. That's the point.
+
+>>> Or perhaps PA should just go in System/Base?
+>>
+>> No. It only drowns it in the crowd of completely unrelated packages.

+> Do you expect someone to want to manually install pulseaudio after

+
+Yes. By the principle of "Where else?" :-)
