I went to https://packages.debian.org/stable/ looking for
test utilities.
The closest heading I found was "Utilities"

The only relevant entry I found there was "memtester (4.3.0-3)".
I did not find "memtest86+" which I've used many times [It
was listed under
"Similar packages:" on
https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/memtester].
I found nothing for testing hard disks or video subsystems

p.d.o has a pretty good search function, this should point you
in the
right direction:
<https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=memtest>
That search function is not suitable. Back in the days when a
library's catalog was a physical set of card-files there were
typically three "file cabinets" - one each for title, author,
and subject cards. By analogy, p.d.o only has information from
"title cards". I need a subject index.
I don't think there exists exactly what you want. debtags[0]
might be close, but I'm not sure how is the tagging status going.
There might be packages with insufficient tags (or even none at
all).

I just looked at the intro of
https://debtags.alioth.debian.org/paper-debtags.html .
It appears that its goal is to solve my problem. I see a day of
interesting reading ahead.
Thank you.
