That fixes the Section view and the warnings but causes a new
side-effect: the package with group <group> doesn't show up in it's
section. I suppose that's because the escaped string in subViews now
doesn't match the actual group entry of the package.

I dunno if this is really worth fixing, afterall we're talking about a
badly packaged rpm with invalid group entry (although rpm itself doesn't
place limits on the contents of the group tag and thus doesn't mind the
<> characters)
