Bug Description
Hello,
Severity : high.
Rationale : nearly no tags, tags database and associated applications, including debtags, are useless.
Summary : near-empty debtags database. Only 20 packages have tags.
After installing debtags and packagesearch, it is observed that packagesearch finds very few packages by tags.
How to reproduce :
* install debtags, use any debtags front-end, see that search by tags finds very few packages
* run debtags cat | wc -l, expect a big number (thousands)
* run apt-cache dumpavail | grep -i ^Tag: | wc -l, expect a big number (thousands)
* run wget -S http://
Observed behavior
* debtags cat | wc -l yields 20
* apt-cache dumpavail | grep -i ^Tag: | wc -l yields 34
* wget -S http://
Thank you for your attention.

As an example of package that does have tags upstream, but appears without tags in the context, take gimp. debtags. debian. net/edit/ gimp shows actual tags for it.
Local database has no tag for gimp, but http://
For the sake of completeness, the debtags database is so small that it can be pasted here.
