Comment (by Carlton Gibson):
I haven't yet seen a reason not to re-use `empty_value_display` here
(rather than add a new admin option) but we need to consider when that is
applied:
> There are some cases where I really do want an empty string displayed
(though not in a linked column). Maybe only use it only when it's an auto-
linked field/column? Or maybe only use this behavior in
display_for_field()? (So if you use a custom function/method, you can
still have full control.) — [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
