@develwithoutacause how do yarn and npm behave in these scenarios? If they generate and empty lockfile, I guess we could do the same.

@zkochan I'm pretty sure #NPM creates a lockfile even for an empty package because I kept trying to do that combined with `pnpm import`.

I don't know that I've ever tried with #Yarn.

At the very least I would expect `pnpm import` should _always_ create a lockfile or outright fail. Otherwise it's breaking the expectations of the user.

```
# Should never cat a non-existent file.
# Either a lockfile is generated, or the `pnpm import` command fails.
pnpm import && cat pnpm-lock.json
```

@develwithoutacause it might be a breaking change but we can do it in v8
