Actually, "stable" is implied by the state of the archive, the version
of the package a bug is filed against, and (possibly) the version/s of the
package that fix the bug. It's reasonably feasible to just make the BTS
do all this inferring itself, and not need a separate release tag at all.

Note that a tag for "unstable" probably won't happen: tags are probably
only useful when they're against a minority of packages, not when they
apply to just about every new bug.
