Such an empty /etc/crontab would belong into the package cronie and not
into the package filesystem. It's cronie specific since fcron, which I
use, doesn't need and provide one. The corresponding, but also not
necessary file for fcron would be /etc/fcrontab. And I'm not sure if
such an empty /etc/crontab would affect fcron.

If cronie doesn't provide an empty /etc/crontab and doesn't run
without it, it is a bug in cronie.
