How to show my .deb package in a particular section

i had made my own .deb package for media player developed by me,but when i install it in my

kubuntu 10.04 it install successfully but not shows under a particular section like

"Multimedia" so please tell me how to show my deb package into a particular section because i

am going to release it over internet so the users from whole world can download it and use

it.

From example my VLC media player after installation shows under Multimedia Section.

-Thanks
