Just been asked by CRAN to fix documentation in my package, which generated the following warnings:

Found the following HTML validation problems:
  p_mutate.html:56:1 (p_mutate.Rd:17): Warning: trimming empty <dt>

This seems to be a new check and were the result of me using @inheritDotParams where there were no additional parameters to inherit. For example:

#' A base function
#'
#' @param x a parameter
#' @param ... not used at present but might be extended in the future
#'
#' @return something
#' @export
#'
#' @examples
#' print("hi")
test_fn_one = function(x, ...) {

}


#' @param y additional parameter
#' @inherit test_fn_one
#' @inheritDotParams test_fn_one
test_fn_two = function(x, y, ...) {
  # do something with y
  test_fn_one(x, ...)
}

Generates a test_fn_two.Rd file that contains the following .Rd:

<snip>

\item{...}{
  Arguments passed on to \code{\link[=test_fn_one]{test_fn_one}}
  \describe{
    \item{\code{}}{}
  }}
}

<snip>

The empty \describe block seems to cause CRAN issues. I can work around this by removing the @inheritDotParams directive in test_fn_two but that breaks future proofing for changes in test_fn_one. Is there another way to approach this?
Many thanks. N.B. issue [#1670 ] is I think a connected problem.
