Description
### What You Are Seeing?
While trying to deprecate a package like described at https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/community-repository/maintainers/deprecate-a-chocolatey-package#the-solution I found that we cannot package an "empty" package. `choco pack` refuses to create the package with the error:
```
Cannot create a package that has no dependencies nor content.
```
