Lintian tag: maintainer-script-empty

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The named maintainer script does not appear to contain code other than
comments or boilerplate such as set -e, exit statements, or a case
statement to parse options.

While harmless in most cases, it is not needed. The package may also leave
files behind until purged, and can contribute to rare problems when dpkg
fails because no maintainer scripts are present.

Please do not ship the maintainer script unless it does something useful.
