Title:
  near-empty debtags database

Status in “debtags” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  Severity : high. 
  Rationale : nearly no tags, tags database and associated applications, including debtags, are useless.

  Summary : near-empty debtags database. Only 20 packages have tags.

  After installing debtags and packagesearch, it is observed that
  packagesearch finds very few packages by tags.

  How to reproduce :

  * install debtags, use any debtags front-end, see that search by tags finds very few packages
  * run debtags cat | wc -l, expect a big number (thousands)
  * run apt-cache dumpavail | grep -i ^Tag: | wc -l, expect a big number (thousands)
  * run wget -S  http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/tags-current.gz, expect a result

  Observed behavior

  * debtags cat | wc -l yields 20
  * apt-cache dumpavail | grep -i ^Tag: | wc -l yields 34
  * wget -S  http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/tags-current.gz fails with 404

  Thank you for your attention.
