No, I said that if it's a suite of more than 5 packages we should add a tag!

There is nothing wrong with being a subset. you might want to run
gnome-office on a KDE system, too. Or koffice on Gnome.

LAMP* is an abbreviation, so you of course won't find it with
pkgnames. But I can assure you that linux, apache, mysql,
perl/php/python have been a part of Debian for a long time...

In fact I remember a discussion about adding metapackages for these
suites, since they are very popular for webdevelopment.
