We actually do catch the syntax, but via the info-level tag
description-possibly-contains-homepage (added in Lintian 2.2.3, and
therefore not currently included in the lintian.d.o output).

Our test case for that tag uses "<http://lintian.debian.org/>", so I'm
assuming the fact that description-contains-homepage doesn't flag that
syntax is intentional - Russ?
