I don't know about any documentation of this, but there is:
meta/conf/bitbake.conf:ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-dev = "1"
meta/conf/bitbake.conf:ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}-dbg = "1"

and ${PN}-dev and ${PN}-dbg are in default PACKAGES value, that's what
makes them always created (even when empty), unless the recipe defines
PACKAGES variable (not recommended).

The default runtime dependency from PN-dev is IMHO more annoying than
PN-dev existence.
