An empty package by definition doesn't have any impact on the rootfs,
because it's empty. The majority of empty packages are used for their
dependency management: package groups are just empty packages which have
dependencies.
If you know of any empty packages which have no dependencies, feel free
to submit a patch to remove them from the metadata.
