My apologies. That loss of functionality was unintended. I am not sure
why your tags are not part of Lintian, but you should should not have
to resolve or watch out for namespace conflicts with other packages.

Please see my updated MR, and comment.:

I now placed them in lintian/tags/p/* (except all tags were prefixed
with 'pkg-perl/', so they effectively reside in
lintian/tags/p/pkg-perl). That may work with current versions of
Lintian, but I am not sure.

Any testing would be appreciated. If the adjustments to your Makefile
are too complex, I could perhaps ask the maintainers of pkg-js-tools
for an evaluation. They seem to move at light speed!

Kind regards,
Felix
