I am far from the right person to be answering this question, but my heuristic is usually something like "find another similar package/application and append the definition to that file". In other cases, it's ambiguous though, for example i recently added 'dosbox to games.scm (even though it's not a game) and 'cmus to music.scm (even though it's a media player and music.scm also contains a lot of music-making software, but one of the alternatives, mpd.scm, seemed too specific). I guess it's a seat-of-your-pants thing, but i am open to correction. Cheers, p.
