Oh, ok. I was actually thinking of asking -release about this (so I can stop reimplementing bits of Boost and use it directly) but that works too. > However, with regards to dependencies, you may consider skipping libept > and the debtags index altogether, and just look at Xapian and the index > built by apt-xapian-index into /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/. While Xapian is on the very long list of things I want to work on, I don't see how this relates to the bug report in question? Users evidently want debtags support, and I don't see how xapian-index provides it. In particular, how do I look up a package's tags from its name (the main thing aptitude does with debtags) using xapian?
