I think -s should be used here. I have seen projects out there which
don't use the mandatory autotools files (INSTALL, NEWS, README, AUTHORS,
ChangeLog, COPYING) at all or use other files than these. So they just
place an empty file there to make automake happy instead of using the
--foreign option. Besides that it makes no sense to install empty
documentation files at all.
