Bug#748452: lintian: please check if fields in machine-readable copyright file actually contain data



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.22.1~bpo70+1
Severity: wishlist

I accidentily created a d/copyright file which follows the format of the
machine readable style [1] but did not have any content in the Copyright:
fields of one of the paragraphs. Lintian didn't catch it (luckily I still
did myself). It would be nice if lintian didn't only check if the required
fields are there, but also if they are filled.

Example:
Files: source/component/tipue/jquery-1.7.1.min.js
 debian/source/jquery-1.7.1.js
