Lintian tag: empty-udeb-package

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This udeb package appears to be empty, and its description does not say
that it's a metapackage or a package. This is often due to problems with
updating debhelper *.install files during package renames or similar
problems where installation rules don't put files in the correct place.

If the package is deliberately empty, you can avoid this tag by using one
of the following phrases "metapackage", "dummy", "dependency package", or
"empty package" in the long description of the udeb.
