No, it definitely should not be empty. If it is empty, you are missing very
important code that sets up the autochanger for your system.

If it is missing in their package, would you please submit a bug report to
Debian -- this is pretty serious.

I don't consider it noise -- you have a real problem.

They are in mtx-changer.conf and you can easily look at it and change it, then
the next time you upgrade, your changes will not be wiped out as will be the
case if you modify mtx-changer directly, because mtx-changer is overwritten
on every install.
Best regards,
Kern
PS:
I attach the file you should have.
I am going to modify mtx-changer to fail immediately if the conf file does not
exist so that if this happens again, it will be more evident.
