In my opinion, yes. The drawback with Debtags is that tagging is
anonymous, so we can't discuss with the person who tagged kst
Field::Chemistry. But I would suggest asking the maintainer and CCing
Debichem to confirm that this tag can be removed.

Unfortunately, they stem from a disagreement between me and the Debtags
team. I wanted a Suite::EMBOSS and a few works-with and
works-with-format tags related to biology, and they objected that it was
too specialised. They created the biology::facet instead. I do not think
that I want to use it.

Here is the complete discussion.

I will go through the packages relevant to Debian Med and reopen the
discussion with solid numbers about how many packages would use this or
that proposed tag.

Have a nice day,
