Why of course, but "med" returns a lot of unrelated hits
(just think of all the ".*media.*" matches) while "med-"
does not. However, the user doesn't know that. And it's not
obvious why a user should search for "med-" (rather than,
say, the obvious "medi" or "medic") to narrow down the
search. IF the user knew the medical packages are to be
found tagged with "med-something" they *would* know to use
"med-" as the search term - but they don't know that.

Joe User reading a document - which tells them what to
search for rather than what they actually want to know ?
Come on !

Now, THAT, or something similar (such as a synaptic
selection box "search for the following tags") will
indeed work.
Might there be sub tasks ? A task in tasksel named
"Desktop" with subtasks "home" and "business", the latter
with subtasks "medical practice", "physics", ... ?
Where the task-subtask-... hierarchy is nothing but a file
specifying task-to-metapackage relationship ? Or
task-to-tag_group.
On the more enjoyable side of things: I have successfully
lured one of our practice nurses onto Debian (for the time
being anyhow) :-) Her Windows 98 broke down, Knoppix
looked splendid and the Lenny Beta 2 Netinstall took
advantage of her cablemodem overnight ;-))
