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 ;).
