With the number of packages we have, I think it would be counterproductive to over-generalise with a complex tagging scheme, at least for now. With all that generality comes a lot of work: we'd have to worry about keeping our tags accurate and our tagging scheme relevant, worry about how our tags related to Debian's tags and propagate tags in both directions, develop much more complex interfaces (both web and command-line) for searching and navigating the tags, etc. etc.
In that case, we ought to agree a set of categories, based on the purpose/use of packages.
