I've written such script: svn://svn.debian.org/debtags/debtags/1.6.0/debtags-updatecontrol To try it, add an empty "Tag:" field in a binary package record of your debian/control, then run the script. It will: * check changes in the debtags database on alioth * ask you to approve them * send a patch with the changes you rejected. This scripts gives an easy way for maintainers to approve tag changes before uploading their package. What would be missing now is a way to see which packages supply a Tag: header in the control file: for those packages I need to get the Tag: overrides removed, otherwise it will have precedence.
