Well, the issue isn't QA, but that the guidelines specifically allow arbitrary package sections. See here.
The AM only shows packages in the user segment. Thus, your Section field in the control file should be of the form
Code:
Section: user/SECTION
where SECTION is arbitrary. SECTION should be a nice capitalised, English word like "Ringtones". There is no support for localising that word yet, unfortunately.

However, there is also a predefined set of sections. If your package fits into one of these sections, you should put it there. This will avoid fragmenting the section names, and the names of these sections will be correctly localised.
X-Fade has been working on a better solution for this, though (discussion here). I put forward a couple of UI mockups in bug #3103 (disscussion here), as well. Point is, there's definitely some movement going on on this point.
