We have an updated list of departments for click packages (and is
smaller and makes more sense), and I'm working on having that added to
the store. Is not trivial since we need to preserve the current list
of departments for the "desktop debian packages", but we have a plan
and should be ready by the end of this week (at least on staging).

The phone app scope will not require any change (at all!), the click
index will start returning the updated list when is ready.

Any question, just let me know!
I will keep you updated when new department list is live.

Natalia.
