Don't make them empty unless you're really short of space; if possible make them have only the files which are installed, or possibly all the files in each package. dpkg should record the right info in them automatically when you use it to put the packages in the area where you're building the base disks. (It doesn't matter too much if the files that are in the reduced basedisks are listed, as dpkg won't moan about files that appear to have disappeared since installation.)
