Hi Chris,

Worst case, we can also move the tag to a separate profile (e.g.
"debian/future.profile"), which we did for the hardening tags that had a
lot of false-positives (until we figured out how to deal with them).  I
hope it will not be relevant, but in case it does... :)

Admittedly, it does have the down-side of not being collected on
lindsay.d.o.

Thanks,
~Niels
