I personally don't think it's usable for my purposes, because of the
problems mentionned in the mail you replied to.  

Customization of the library is not a problem though.  IIUC, there is
no real debtags library, it's just a database in the format expected
by the tagcoll library, where tagcoll is a library that is meant to
add extra data to whatever you like.  Therefore, customization is as
easy as it can be, since there is no library that expects any sort of
format of the data.
