As I see the situation the approach is exactly that.
Adding a file that does not hurt to make the tool happy.
There are no other consequences.
If you prefer to keep the repository clean of files and directories
that do not add functionality, that's a of course a approach as well.

BTW, I asked on the freenode#autotools channel back in November,
the guys there told me the same thing.

Kind regards,
