A quick search show these packages mentioning cobol:

pere@meta:~$ apt-cache search cobol
exuberant-ctags - build tag file indexes of source code definitions
gnucobol - COBOL compiler
libcob4 - COBOL compiler - runtime library
libcob4-dev - COBOL compiler - development files
open-cobol - transitional dummy package for gnucobol
sloccount - programs for counting physical source lines of code (SLOC)
src2tex - converter from source program files to TeX format files
universalindentgui - GUI frontend for several code beautifiers
pere@meta:~$

As far as I can tell, only open-cobol should not have the cobol tag
(well, it could get it, but it is just a placeholder for gnucobol).  The
rest can handle cobol code.

I used TODO on gnucobol, but thought it was time to get a cobol tag in
place and filed here too. :)
