Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debtags
I'm using a (relatively) clean install of Xubuntu 8.04
In the cron.daily folder, one of the programs intended to run every day
is debtags. The debtags program, however, is not installed by default. I
don't think this is critical, but it does result in cron yelling at you
(via mail, which I suppose no one ever checks...) every day.

Description: Enables support for package tags
debtags provides a system to download a database of package tags and keep it
up to date. A package tag is a small label that gets attached to
a Debian package to represent one of its qualities.
A package tag database in the system can enable advanced package search
techniques, and advanced package browsing functions in programs that
support it.
This package has been made as a way to deploy and test package tags support
until it gets integrated in the normal Debian workflow.
For more information, see the Debtags homepage at:
http://debtags.alioth.debian.org

aptitude show apt-index-watcher

No current or candidate version found for apt-index-watcher
Package: apt-index-watcher
State: not a real package
================================================
I'll admit, I don't know exactly what apt-index-watcher is, but I'm
guessing it replaced debtags, and that in the update process, someone
forgot to remove that file from the cron folder of the install image.
