The problem being that Data.Version has deprecated the tags field,

So, undeprecate it.

The patch that deprecates it mentions problems with Eq and Ord. I suspect the implementation is inconsistent with the axioms. Also, a list of tags independent of version numbers isn't exactly what would be needed to differentiate between two versions on Hackage, you actually need an "upstream" and a "Hackage" version number, plus maybe more version numbers if a piece of code goes through more stations. I.e. that wouldn't solve the problem, it needs to be replaced with something better.
