I was asking myself the same thing and actually wrote it down in the
last mail, but removed the paragraph before sending. My thoughts were:
rasterimage must imply photo, because each rasterimage program can be
used for photos, and else the user could get a resultset omitting
relevant packages (e.g. is gimp photo?). Additionally I guess there are
very few packages dealing with photos only (probably none), therefore I
dismissed the idea of a photo tag. However it could make sense as an
alias for rasterimage.
