This might be possible. I was never sure myself, but I think I might
have stumbled about this behaviour already. Hmpf, I hate irreproducable
bugs :-( I will try to figure out what might be wrong.

Thanks this is fixed with the latest version 1.0.1. The plugin will
disable itself properly now if the database is not found.

The point with this is, that the tags are organized inside facets, i.e.
we have a two level hierarchy now. And no packages should be tagged with
facets directly. As this has changed against former version there are
still a lot of packages which are tagged unappropriate (i.e. with a
facet like devel). 
On a side note towards terminology: the top level hierachies are called
facets, and the subitems are tags (see http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/
for more details) .

> Should I report this to debtags?
I think it is appropriate as it obviously confuses the users and Enrico
should be aware of this. Besides he knows more about the internas than
me.

Greetings Ben
