You can find a debtags link on the pts for every source package. http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/empire.html For example: http://debtags.debian.net/rep/todo/maint/pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org#empire This will give you an overview about all team maintained packages that need some tags. The primary goal is that every game has a facet game::*, where * is the name of a tag such as arcade, sport or even more fine-grained game::sport:racing. Most games already provide such tags but not all of them are correct. You can use the debtags tool to search for packages with these tags and, in the scope of the blends project, create metapackages with them. The more meta information are available for packages via debtags, the easier it is to create specialized metapackages such as games implemented in Java or Python, with joystick support, etc. Cheers, Markus
