OK.

I admit when writing my initial mail DebTags somehow flashed through my
mind and yes, it is definitely feasible - specifically since Debian
Games team was starting to build tasks files using DebTags last week.
However, this means we reall need to *maintain* DebTags ... which we do
not to a reasonable extend (the all these yellow buttins saying
"Go tagging"
on our tasks page. So, yes, we can, but this just shifts the work to a
different interface.
Kind regards
Andreas.
