While I don't doubt that your patch accomplishes it goal, I wonder whether it would be better to fix this "correctly" now. By this I mean: 1) The extended description should be available in the $tag_info 2) The list of already issued tags should probably be a object attribute instead of a module attribute. 3) I'm unsure whether the flag show_description shouldn't be an object attribute of Lintian::Output instead of a module attribute of Tags.
