Thank you for the suggestion. This has been attempted before: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2005-June/000406.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2005-June/000414.html but it turned out that it's hard to find a useful way of doing it. There is still the possibility that those threads are too pessimistic and someone can come up with a useful set of tags. If you (or anyone else) would like to try it, you can do it by creating a custom tag source as described in: http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/faq.html (under "Can I create my own set of tags and add them to all the packages I want?") The resulting tag database can be made accessible as a tag soucre for anyone using debtags by putting the tag and vocabulary files online as tags-current.gz and vocabulary.gz. For example, the two URLs: http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/tags-current.gz http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/vocabulary.gz Yield the debtags tag source: tag http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags That can be put in /etc/debtags/sources.list.
