ALLOW_EMPTY (which like all package-controlling variables should always be
used in conjunction a package name override, e.g. ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}) just
specifies that empty packages are actually produced instead of the default
behaviour where they are skipped. This is mostly useful where there is an
RDEPENDS or other runtime hard-requirement on the package existing.
