Another option, obviously, would be to hand-merge the two
vocabularies -- probably to be done by whoever slurped the trove
vocabulary, or thinks that it's all great.

That is, simply add trove tags that don't match to existing debtags
tags. That way, none of the (tedious!) tagging work would be lost;
there would just be more tagging to do. With a couple of hundred trove
tags, merging new ones into the existing vocabulary should only take a
few hours.

I believe the trove vocabulary was originally ignored for some reason;
I can't remember why.
