[unimplemented tags]

fwiw, and because I was curious... These all /were/ implemented, but
were subsequently disabled or removed. A quick trawl of the changelog
gives:

It was (mostly :) removed in 088129c0b4968753957b626ea4e622795e5d271b a
couple of years ago, although the log entry only refers to checks/files.

The removal of this tag isn't mentioned explicitly, but a little digging
finds that it was removed in 1850c8f7793d9f4430be6344fe84f9629e06d3ab as
part of a clear up of the "needs" checks, released in Lintian 1.2.11 in
February 2004.
