I am totally in favor of turning it into a real tag.
There has been discussions about renaming the tag (see thread starting
at https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2013/09/msg00096.html ; my
personal preference is entry-point
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2013/09/msg00108.html) for the
geeky factor). We should rename it at the same time.
