Probably because Debian has them in base.  Chris chose to model the 
categories on Debian originally -- but we seem to be migrating away from 
that somewhat and using "best judgement" for recent package submissions.

I have no opinion on whether they should be 'moved' -- I use an 
almost-full installation anyway... :-)
