I do not;-)
If you don't have time to do that, please tell me and I'm going to do it (I
suggested it, so I might as well bear the consequences). Is there anything else
to do apart from patching the vocabulary and sending one really big patch to the
tag database?

Well, what are the UI to search for packages with debtags so far, and has any
program used that information yet? Maybe it would we useful for a search
interface to have presets for several use cases (desktop system, system admins,
developers) where this kind of information could come into play.
