Then why install it at all if it's empty? I believe a zero sized file in
/etc it's even worse.

Ross, you requested (according to the description in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4416#c0 ) to just move
xinput-calibrator to oe-core from meta-oe. Technically, the first
patchset did just that. It would have been easier for me, from the
planning point of view at least, if I had known in advance the
additional changes you needed for this package. I admit I don't know how
all packages in oe-core or meta-oe should or shouldn't work... I'm
working on improving that though. ;)

So, perhaps it would be better for all of us if you documented all these
additional change requests in bugzilla. Would that be OK with you?
