Even an otherwise empty package contains metadata files (or
else what good does it do?), and these metadata files need a
copyright file giving the license under which they are distributable,
So I don't think there is anything wrong with Lintian
complaining about the lack of a copyright notice -- there should
always be one, if only for the metadata.
