Thanks.
As I didn't want to download the whole lintian.log, I applied the
following screen-scraping recipe of mine:
$ wget http://lintian.debian.org/tags/description-contains-homepage.html
$ grep 'h2 class="tag"' description-contains-homepage.html | sed 's|.*>\([^<]\+\)</a.*|\1|'
it's clearly fragile, as all screen-scraping, but it avoids the need of
downloading the whole lintian.log, which might be handy if people wants
to process data related to a single tag.
Cheers.
