I asked Enrico via mail but got no response (since two days). OK, this
time of year people might be on holiday. But anyway it seems that a
service which depends only from one person is not a good thing. Enrico,
is there any description what exactly has to be done to confirm DebTags?

I don't think that a temporary divergence of DebTags in DAK and UDD of
one or two days is a real problem. My current fear is that people might
be attracted by the Blends tasks pages to debtag a set of packages but
nothing happens for a long time (=several weeks). This should be the
exception from the normal situation (say about 1-2 weeks) to make sure
that people stay motivated to go debtagging.
