 $line .= "\n"; L442 in wp-admin/import/mt.php causes an issue in feed:
 when there is no excerpt, it inserts \n in post_excerpt, and since it's no
 longer empty, the_excerpt_rss() will return \n, resulting in blank rss
 <description> entry.

 I think saving \n to db is not very good (although it probably doesn't
 hurt).
 A safe fix is just to do:

  if( !empty($line) )
     $line .= "\n";

 Thanks to sivel for discussions on IRC.
