It turned out that it's hard to tell whether use::editing refers to
hardware::storage:dvd or to other tags. There could be a software used to edit
video, which also happens to have special support for reading (but not writing)
DVDs.

So I added the cd/dvd *-writer tags:

  diff --git a/debian-packages b/debian-packages
  index ae93288..eac0419 100644
  --- a/debian-packages
  +++ b/debian-packages
  @@ -767,13 +767,21 @@ Tag: hardware::storage
   Description: Storage
   
   Tag: hardware::storage:cd
  -Description: CD
  +Description: CD reader
    Compact Disc
   
  +Tag: hardware::storage:cd-writer
  +Description: CD writer
  + Compact Disc writer

   Tag: hardware::storage:dvd
  -Description: DVD
  +Description: DVD reader

  +Tag: hardware::storage:dvd-writer
  +Description: DVD writer
  + Digital Versatile Disc writer
  +
   Tag: hardware::storage:floppy
   Description: Floppy Disk

It could make sense, later on, to rename *:cd to *:cd-reader and *:dvd to
*:dvd-reader.


Ciao,

Enrico
