Something like this is already planned.  Mornfall is currently
off-line, and so kapture development has temporarily stalled, but when
he comes back, this is one of the goals that we intend to work towards.

Yes, you should read up on the debtags system, it is intended to
replace the Debian Sections, and kapture is intended to use it.

We intend to filter out all packages that have library in their
debtags or sth like that, I'm not really sure about the details any
more.

A separation between Simple and Advanced actions is also definitely
planned, but we are not yet sure about the specifics.
