It wasn't to create the file, it was to test it for where a file should never be. Specifically, does the $HOME/.pangorc file exist? The test is to set it something that doesn't exist so we can test against defaults rather than the user environment. /var/empty is an empty folder, whereas /dev/null isn't a directory. It looks like the perfect solution unless other packages will violate the mtree in the manner you suggest.
