In fact yes: if you leave your sources.list to the default "tags
apt://", then the tags will be taken from the Packages file, which
should contain tags that have been frozen at the time of the release.

It should also use the vocabulary shipped with the debtags package,
which should as well have been frozen at the time of the release.

Unless I'm missing something, we should have gotten this for free when
the tags have been added to the Packages file.


Ciao,

Enrico
