It seems to me that dak's the one in the wrong here, but obviously
it's too late to fix that to use "branch"...
How about changing the debtags "suite::" facet to "project::" - it
works neatly for project::gnome, ::debian-med, etc.
On the other hand, it doesn't suit the gkrellm-plugin packages etc.
Yes, in an ideal world it would make sense for those to be handled
via Enhances: control-fields instead of via debtags, but it would be
a pity to throw out all that existing tag information while the
developers show so little enthusiasm for Enhances:.
(Can anyone suggest a way of promoting the use of Enhances:, other
than by pelting people with wishlist bugreports?)
