Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

For some tags, like embedded-javascript-library, lintian only checks 
the existence of files with a certain name, not taking into account
if the content matches the file name or even if there is content at all.
It would be nice to instruct lintian to ignore empty files, regardless 
of the file name.

Thanks,
Federico
