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,
