The sledgehammer is debtags itself, not the actual tag; no user will
need without D-I an udeb (at least not one thatknows what he's doing
;-), only the installer will use udebs

the binary udeb package can have different tags than the binary deb,
with no problems; please document yourself about the purpose of udebs,
you will understand better. So having an X- header in the udeb will
not prevent the deb to have an associated debtags tag.

I simply can't imagine that scenario. What would be the purpose?
