This allows tools to detect the file as empty, such as via systemd's
ConditionFileNotEmpty.

As pointed out on https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2301: Why
does this file get created at all if it's going to be empty?

The only reason I can think of is to avoid breaking current programs
that depend on its existence since it is created since forever.
