If it was just us, I'd say that at this point it's just easier to get 
rid of the tag-badge: it brings limited value and also does not "behave" 
like individual badges when clicked on.

However I am not sure that would not really solve your problem, as teams 
routinely add badges to their README files like the PyPI version badge in:

https://opendev.org/openstack/python-novaclient/src/branch/master/README.rst

So I think the simplest is to automate the removal of external images so 
that the result is compliant with Debian packaging. I bet it's a pretty 
common packaging problem with all those projects on GitHub using badges 
those days?
