If you maintain a wishlist for your tasks package, can you add
"Display debtags" to it please.

I have done some tagging. Adding tags to packgages is easy, anyone can
do it[1] - just go to http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/edit.html to add
tags to your favourite package.

While I believe that there is scope for more tags for science
packages[2], the current scheme is a good start, and useful in its own
right.

[1] Please go tagging folks. 

[2] I started a discussion on this this mailing list a few months
ago. I think progress was made, but we didn't come up with a set of
additional tags.
