When the archive coverage will be complete, this won't be a problem anymore: the tags for the version in testing of a package will be correct and, even if the version in unstable will have different tags, this would mean only that some of the functionalities of the package are different, not that the newer tags are better. I still think the right way to tag packages is to add the Tags: field in debian/control, add dpkg support for it, and then provide the mantainers with good documentation on how to tag a package correctly. For packages which are still not tagged after this is done, just file a wishlist bug, providing a patch for the control file. -- KiyuKo <eof AT kiyuko DOT org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
