There is a library being implemented (libapt-front.alioth.debian.org) to wrap libapt and also include other data sources (such as libdebtags) > By the way debedit spew some debugging output at me and seems also a bit > laggy. Is it still beta? (: In a way, yes: it's useful as a tagging tool, and it's my playground to test user interfaces-related features, so, well... :) There's a new improved version in experimental (and an even newer on monday), which has less debugging output but it's still quite laggy. Reason for being laggy is that there's some newly developed algorithms there which are more into "let's see if this works" stage than in a "let's make this efficient". It'd actually be quite interesting to redesign these algorithms efficiently: if someone knows C++ and STL and algorithmics and wants a challenge, please contact me.
