It's still 1.5.2+b2 in Etch. The version I temporarily installed on
Wednesday was 1.5.5+b1, which also pulled in apt-index-watcher.

I'm just using:
cp /var/cache/debtags/d*current.gz ~/
sudo debtags update
zdiff ~/d*current.gz /var/cache/debtags/d*current.gz
Not that I'm doing any tagging just now. Last time I tried I got a
reply full of "Unknown tag" lines.
