boot-floppies is only of use to someone who is building a base system
or a custom boot disk. Custom boot disks will be less necessary in 1.2
because it's _fully_ modular, using "initfs" to load modules before mounting
the root. I think this still belongs in devel, unless we make some
distribution developer's category that contains boot-floppies and dpkg-dev.

That's two opinions for, none against.

Fine by me. The categorization I did was not a thorough
investigation.  Package maintainers need to think about it
for themselves.
