Out of curosity, why you do need to write an empty package? I don't think 
I've encountered one outside of ACATS tests and incomplete examples.

For a package whose contents are TBD, I would document that fact with a 
comment (thus the package would not appear empty):

package MT is
     -- %%% Temp: TBD declarations to go here.
end MT;

(Note: The "%%% Temp" is a convention that I use so I can check easily that 
all of the incomplete code places have been finished before I start 
testing.)

                                   Randy.
