Yes, it looks more elegant, I would be happy if there would be anything for this porpose. In the list you wrote above, I only miss an equivalent to my no-source, for cases when a package does not have source at all (for example rar), and difference between nonfree-dist (for example distribution can bo only free of charge) and no-dist (can't distribute at all).
