Hello, > How about changing the debtags "suite::" facet to "project::" - it > works neatly for project::gnome, ::debian-med, etc. I think the potential for misunderstanding is quite low, and not critical. Thus I think we should stick with the existing solution here.

Perhaps adding it to the New Maintainers Guide might help for new DDs (it's omitted in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html "Apart from Depends:, other relationship fields are Recommends:, Suggests:, Pre-Depends:, Conflicts:, Provides:, and Replaces"). Otherwise I'd say its a matter of times it was already added. Once people have seen a certain amount of packages with this field, people are aware of it. So it needs a critical mass. I wasn't aware of it till now. Actually I am not sure if it can fulfil the same role as the suite facet. Policy states: Enhances: This field is similar to Suggests but works in the opposite direction. It is used to declare that a package can enhance the functionality of another package. This says that it has the same intensity like "Suggests". So a gkrellm plugin should "Depend" on gkrellm, but not "Enhance" it since the relation is stronger. In this regard enhances seems not very useful to me, usually you would want "Depend" or "Recommend" instead. Perhaps Policy needs to be fixed? At least it is pretty unclear.
