LaTeX things have traditionally been in the Authoring and Publishing group as well. If there's a desire to get the description changed, propose something and I'm more than willing to make it more generic :) By script converters do you mean things like ooo2txt? I think if they're for common formats, having them in Authoring and Publishing could be okay...
