the tag inferring is all ugly. i'm not suggesting this patch cleans it up or anything, just that it makes it a little less painful if you dont plan on fixing the package to do things right. i agree completely that explicitly specifying the --tag is the right solution. i dont think the additional overhead to the tag inferring is a real issue -- if you're inferring tags, you're already doing it wrong ;). -mike
