A few questions about debtags

Hi,

I saw the new Debian Package Browser... Well, it is nice to see that
some work has been done in order to improve it... and less nice to learn
that all my previously-tagged packages had to be retagged from
scratch. :-/

OK, here are my questions:

  1. Should a library that is used to connect to the XMMS audio player
     (which plays among other formats MP3 and OGG) have the file-formats
     tag? [library packages = python-xmms and python2.X-xmms with X=1..3]

  2. Should a command-line program that uses the aforementioned library
     to connect to XMMS have the same tag? [package = pyxmms-remote]

  3. Should a package containing a set of PostScript fonts have the
     media::font tag? (it doesn't contain e.g. programs that _handle_
     fonts, it _contains_ fonts) [package = lmodern]

  4. Should a package containing PostScript fonts have the
     printing::postscript tag? [package = lmodern]
     If not, what is exactly the use of this tag?

  5. Should a package containing PostScript fonts have the
     use::printing tag? [package = lmodern]

  6. Should a package containing PostScript fonts have the
     use::viewing tag? [package = lmodern]
     Well, I don't think so. Just to make sure...

For python-xmms and python2.X-xmms with X=1..3, I attached the
role::TODO tag because I couldn't see anything that did fit well.
Technically, it is a client (they contain a set of Python library
modules that connect to a socket created by XMMS, write requests on this
socket, read XMMS' answers to the requests and forward the results to
the program using these library modules). But it is not a client the
end-user directly interacts with like a Web browser, FTP client, etc.
Perhaps there should be a role::library tag or similar?

Also, I see that the packages I tagged a few minutes ago don't appear
when browsing the categories at
http://debian.vitavonni.de/packagebrowser/index.cgi. I suppose this is
expected behavior. When are these pages updated?

Thanks.
