Package: base-files
Version: 3.1.13
Severity: wishlist
I wish debian included an empty directory at /usr/share/empty
owned by root:root with a mode 0555
I don't like comparing Debian to other distro's but it is true to say some
other ditros have a /usr/share/empty .
Thanks
Alex Owen

If you need /usr/share/empty for compatibility with other distros, you
can create the directory yourself.
As this directory is not required by Debian policy or the FHS,
there is no point in having it in an essential package. Sorry.
