Lintian's control-file-is-empty and udebs

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Hi,

Reviewing a part of the Lintian code, I noticed the following[1]:

"""
        # I'm not sure about the udeb case
        if ($type ne 'udeb' and $file->size == 0) {
            tag 'control-file-is-empty', $file;
        }
"""

My question is: Are there control files for udebs where it makes sense
for them to be present and completely empty (instead of leaving them out
completely)?  If so, which of the files would that be?
