Hi Chris, Worst case, we can also move the tag to a separate profile (e.g. "debian/future.profile"), which we did for the hardening tags that had a lot of false-positives (until we figured out how to deal with them). I hope it will not be relevant, but in case it does... :) Admittedly, it does have the down-side of not being collected on lindsay.d.o. Thanks, ~Niels
