archive? what archive? ;-) other packages? -- there is none (only a
loose connection to the Debian packages of this particular piece).
But "the scope" is a good argument -- "blends"/"tasks" sound indeed too
Debian-specific. But semantically -- shouldn't they be quite a good
match to describe the domain/purpose of the software?
So may be we could converge on introducing tagging
(similar/extending to debtagss)? Micahel has already confessed today
committing an improved debian/upstream for fsl:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-exppsy/fsl.git;a=blob;f=debian/upstream;hb=HEAD#l29
e.g. shouldn't all packages tagged with field::medicine:imaging be
a part of debian-med imaging ? ;-)
