Thank you.

Btw, I discovered that debtags search do not read more than one
argument, and thus my search statement was wrong.  It should have been
with quotes:

  debtags search "use::learning && role::program"

Also, I am starting to suspect that golearn only show packages with a
tag in the field domain, and thus only return packages matching this
search:

  debtags search "use::learning && role::program && field::*"

When I search for all the learing programs without a field value, I
get a lot of packages not showing up in golearn:

  % debtags search "use::learning && role::program && ! field::*"

Several of these are useful to learn a skill and not really a field of
knowledge.  Should these also show up in golearn?  If so, how should
golearn be changed to make it happen?

I guess all dictionaries and vocabulary related tools can be said to
be in the linguistic field, but seem like stretching it a bit.
