Highlighting totem-upnp issue and possible koji problem?

[Michael Wiktowy]

Hello,

In trying to report a bug about the totem-upnp package not working in
F15, I found that someone had already filed a bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694507

In it, the reason for it not working was totem-upnp was an *empty*
package. I checked on koji and while the build of totem and it
subpackages were completed, the build process seemed to have disabled
the upnp plugin because of a problem PyGTK vs. pygobject issue and
built an empty package.

I can understand the whole build not being killed over an optional
plugin. However, should koji build an empty package? I would think
that koji should just not make that subpackage at all. Then at least
people will not be tricked into updating a working package to an empty
one should this slip though QA/testing ... which I am guessing this
particular package has.

Maybe even some indication that there was a successful build but with
some caveats listed on the package build page:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=242946

Are there other empty packages out there?
