Which packages?

We agreed to stay with the debian names only.
Currently most of them are in "Net".
Which non-Net packages should go to such a Security category?

$ egrep -B10 "category:.*(Net$|Net )" setup.ini|grep "@ "|cut -c3-
autossh
c3270
inetutils
irc
lftp
libopenldap2
libopenldap2_2_7
lighttpd
naim
ncftp
netcat
nfs-server
openldap
openldap-devel
openssh
pr3270
proftpd
rsync
setsid
setup
stunnel
suite3270
tin
ttcp
whois
xinetd

PS:
Missing IMHO is just "non-US", with those packages in debian unstable:
   erlang-slang, httperf, netsaint-nrpe-plugin, netsaint-nrpe-server,
   pgp5i, rsaref2, siege-ssltunnelv, zmailer-ssl

But non-US should be parallel to the contrib and release dirs on the 
filesystem level, if someone wants to maintain some of them. (to ease 
mirroring).
