[switching to debtags-devel, since this might be of genral interest] You've mentioned your plans to get rid of libept before, though I am not very fond of it, now that I have everything running on libept (which seems very well structured to me). It's certainly much easier to use than libapt-pkg. Can you give me a pointer to applications using xapian for debtags without libept (is "debtags" already ported)? Are there any porting hints available?
