Nothing complicated really, the code that produces the listing at the
top doesn't actually checks whether the package has an E or W tag. And
since the template gets all the packages even if it only should show
errors and warnings it isn't actually trivial to decide whether the
package should be listed. This should either be fixed in html_reports
to only pass the required packages to the template or in the template
by doing the filtering that comes later before printing the package
listing.

I don't actually think that this has anything to do with the
lintian.debian.org problem.
