To the point that I'm still wondering if I should advertise the > "Tag:" header or not. I think maintainers should care about tags for their packages themselves, like they actually care about the package description. While tags are not fully integrated in the Debian infrastructure at the moment, I expect tools like apt and p.d.o to have full support for tags one day -- hopefully soon. I hope mantaining tags will become part of the normal Debian workflow, and that's why I think not allowing maintainers to declare package tags in the control file -- which is the right place to put them IMHO -- is a bad move. -- KiyuKo <eof AT kiyuko DOT org> "Like Russian Rulette with six bullets loaded"
