please do not remove all tags that are no longer emitted!



Hi,

As there has been discussions about removing tags that are no longer
emitted, I wanted to point that it might make sense to keep those tags
for at least three use cases:
1) to check old source packages that were removed from Debian,
before they are reintroduced in Debian
2) to check unofficial packages
3) to check old packages while tracking history, as in
https://trends.debian.net

Regarding trends.debian.net, I use the following tags:
debian-build-system
debhelper-compat-level
source-format
patch-system
direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system
vcs-fields-use-more-than-one-vcs
vcs
vcs-uri
no-dep5-copyright
missing-tests-control
debian-rules-missing-required-target
rules-do-not-require-root
silent-on-rules-requiring-root
rules-require-root-explicitly
rules-silently-require-root
package-is-co-maintained
package-is-team-maintained
package-is-maintained-by-individual
