mind that I can't tell one end of a version control system from
another.
I haven't touched the culture::* tip. But if culture::italian means
spellchecker-localisation packages such as witalian etc (rather than
meaning that an app comes with Italian error messages, manpages and
so on), why then is there still no tag for wbritish?

forms.

Perl is a poor example of something "implemented in C" since the
package of that name is made up of scripts, .pm/.al/.ph files etc.
Yes, the Perl 5 interpreter is implemented-in::c, but /usr/bin/perl
is in perl-base! The package lua5.1 on the other hand actually
contains the interpreter and compiler binaries for that language,
and is a clear case of devel::lang: versus implemented-in::.

I'm not sure I follow the first sentence, so I've replaced it with
something completely different that says what I'd have said in this
context. Then, the package c++-annotations isn't role::data, it's a
role::dummy metapackage; and the things it depends on look to me
like role::documentation. Let's stick to the clear examples.
