Bug#880004: extended-description-is-empty doesn't catch packages

[s3v <c0llapsed@yahoo.it>]

Package: lintian
Severity: normal


Dear maintainer,

I have filed a bug report against a package that do not provide
an empty extended description [1]. After that i checked the tracker
page [2] and i noticed that the lintian warning was not emitted
despite this tag is active (but doesn't catch anything ATM) [3].

I don't know internals of lintian, if I made some mistakes please
feel free to close this report.
Sorry in advance for the noise.

Thanks for your work.
