No, you didn't misunderstand me. You did post the address of a web
site which is meant for human consumption, though.
This is the list of sections that I found in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz :
admin electroni interpret misc perl tex
base embedded kde net python text
comm games libdevel news science utils
devel gnome libs oldlibs shells web
doc graphics mail otherosfs sound x11
editors hamradio math
The package list found there is not a one-to-one with the web page that
you referenced but gnome is listed in the definitive list, so it's ok to
use it in Cygwin, too.
We don't do things exactly like Debian in every case but if there
is precedent in Debian it helps to make the Cygwin decision.
