I think that the same model used for section and priority is most sensible. Maintainers can include this information in their packages, but it can be added or overridden by a central authority. That way, this information can be added to most packages much more quickly and efficiently than filing bugs, and a notification can be sent to the maintainer when they upload a package for which the tags are overridden. -- - mdz
