It's good to see a libdebtags library coming. 

We nearly finished a major new version of synaptic that adresses a lot
of problems in the 0.48 version (better HIG compliance, vastly
improved performance with gtk2.4 new UI, experimental KDE port). But
it lacks debtags support now. I hope to re-add it with the new library
until linuxtag :) 

Everyone is welcome to help with this of course :) Especially since
I've a lot of real-life work right now (and this is not going to
change in the next few months).
