I should have made myself much clearer, I *don't* think we should have a
hierarchal file structure as I hate lots of symlinks. I think the structure
should be stored in the status/available file.
I don't think we should have a list like "editor,c,perl", I think this is
better (but longer): "editor, programming/c/editor,
programming/perl/editor". Maybe this list is a bit concise though!

A list of aliases might be a good idea. Where this list is made or stored
is another matter - putting it in an "apt" configuration file seems ugly
somehow :-)
