Title:
  Item appears in wrong second category/subcategory

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.23, Ubuntu Lucid
  Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.21, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

  0. Select "View" > "All Software", if it is not selected already.
  1. Navigate to "Games" > "Card Games", and scroll to "poker".
  2. Navigate to "Developer Tools" > "Python", and scroll to "poker".

  What happens:
  1. "poker2D"/"Multiplayer online poker" is in the "Card Games" section.
  2. "poker2D"/"Multiplayer online poker" is in the "Python" section.

  What should happen:
  2. "poker2D"/"Multiplayer online poker" is not in the "Python" section.

  This is indirectly because python-poker2d has "Section: python" when
  it should not. Regardless, it illustrates a bug in Ubuntu Software
  Center: unless an item uses X-Ubuntu-Category-Secondary, it should
  appear in only *one* subsection.

  Other symptoms of this bug:
  * "Pinta Image Editor" is wrongly displayed in "Developer Tools" > "Mono/CLI", despite having "Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics;RasterGraphics;GTK;"
  * "Ubuntu One" is wrongly displayed in "Developer Tools" > "Python", despite having "Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;X-GNOME-PersonalSettings".
  * "PyChess" is wrongly displayed in "Developer Tools" > "Python" as well as "Games" > "Board Games".

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Genre>: "1. If it has a
  .desktop file with at least one Category: value that matches one of
  the subsections listed above, then: 1. Use the first recognizable
  Category: value to determine the subsection from the table. 2.
  Determine the department from the subsection’s location in the table.
  3. Stop."
