The debtags devscripts weren't using --local for a lot of time and I
wasn't aware of anyone else using debtags maintenance functions, so I
took in away, together with the code to merge tag sources, in order to
reduce the amount of code I need to maintain.
If you need tag merging, it can probably be reimplemented easily on top
of the new python3 codebase.
Can you tell me of the kali workflow related to debtags?
