I think the original list that is in use was selected by mvo based on
the debian categories imported into the archive.  I also think they are
possibly out dated.  However I also think they are still relevant.

TV stuff should land in multimedia, public transport make sense in
accessories, tech news would be net along with the rest of the interwebz
stuff.

It might be that on developer.ubuntu.com we add some info on what
Catergory do I add my app to.

The other thing we can do is look at ios store and play and see how
theirs are split.
