Ubuntu does not. We started to use tags more recently and all we have is
'aa-policy' which just means the bug has something to do with policy, but not
specifically what. Maybe: (aa-)'policy-out-of-sync' may work. That is clear that
we are out of sync, but the tag doesn't mandate we must do anything (there might
be a good reason we are out of sync).
