Doing changes like this would mean to go towards a more Suse-like
system, with hundreds of rpm package groups that each contain a few
packages.
That is one option, but it requires to updates the specs of several
thousands packages.
My proposal is more limited:
- let's split the groups that have obviously too many different packages
(Development/Other is an example) to the point that it is unpractical to
browse.
- let's create a handful of categories that (1) make sense for packages
that are currently in unrelated groups (motivated by security software
for example); and (2) complete existing subdivisions (so as not to have
to change the spec of too many packages)
Only creating a few groups also lessens the burden for icons and
translations.
With that in mind, I'm not sure this is a good idea to get so
fine-grained categories in Video, or communications, especially if it's
just for one package.
Maybe if we create a Security group, things like zoneminder can go
there. For amateur radio, in communication it's fine IMHO.
Communications has 138 packages, so it's reasonable.

</I>
The public key thing does not correspond to a rpm group. It's a rpmdrake
GUI choice of how to display keys AFAICT. Feel free to suggest to tv
another choice for the display :-).
