I don't think it's a good idea to use Debtags: it would immensely clutter the Packages file, and the workflow for Debtags tags isn't ideal for this. Also, maybe with locales one would like to match more smartly than you do with tags: maybe if I'm looking for it_CH I could be happy to find another it_IT if it_CH is missing. The feature is interesting, though. I didn't know of http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/ posted by cobaco, and that could be leveraged. I'm thinking fetching info from http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/ and feeding them into apt-xapian-index, for example. If someone explains me precisely how locales are supposed to match, I can work out a nice way of doing that. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>
