Even within these categories there is some need for finer grain. For example, groupware clients are mostly "easy, end-user, corporate" groupware servers are mostly "impossible, sysadmin, corporate, server" But debtags should cope with this? I can see an installer screen like the old tasksel menu, where I can say to someone over the phone: "Yes, now the installer should have brought up a long list of words with tick-boxes by them. Select easy, desktop, internet, end-user, corporate and OurLocalPackages.
