It appears that its goal is to solve my problem. I see a day of

Thank you.
I'm afraid the days of the published OS document containing the
permutated index are long gone.
From this reply, I guessed that debtags was a dead project (the page referred
to apparently orignated in 2005, iiuc).
But, I dug a little deeper and found the following, which has a copyright of
2011-2013, and may be fairly useful.
I went to:
https://debtags.debian.org/search/
and, for kicks, queried on "diagnostic" and got 92 hits.
The page / project appears to still allow people to add new tags, although I
didn't try that.
Let me (us) know how you make out if you try it...
I didn't find it satisfying. That is not to say the search
execution had any inherent problems. There just didn't seem to be
an appropriate tag(s) for my goals.
I've been so focused on crating a fully custom install of Debian
on a flash drive that I forgot having a batch of physical CDs
with free [as in beer] diagnostic software. I'll check which of
them are FOSS and search the repositories for them. If there
enough, I'll look into tweaking their tags so they can be found.
A second path is looking at descriptions of the software on these
CDs and come up with a better set of keywords than I've been using.
Now to continue torture testing my laptop that no longer wants to
run Jessie ;/
