But "the scope" is a good argument -- "blends"/"tasks" sound indeed too Debian-specific. But semantically -- shouldn't they be quite a good match to describe the domain/purpose of the software? So may be we could converge on introducing tagging (similar/extending to debtagss)? Micahel has already confessed today committing an improved debian/upstream for fsl: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-exppsy/fsl.git;a=blob;f=debian/upstream;hb=HEAD#l29 e.g. shouldn't all packages tagged with field::medicine:imaging be a part of debian-med imaging ? ;-) -- Yaroslav O.
