Bug: empty ob-stan.el when installed from ELPA [8.3.4 (8.3.4-47-gaf853d-elpaplus @ /home/tamas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160502/)]

Bug: empty ob-stan.el when installed from ELPA [8.3.4 (8.3.4-47-gaf853d-elpaplus @ /home/tamas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160502/)]

This is about the ELPA package org-plus-contrib, but I could not find a
more specific place to report it.

When installing org-plus-contrib from ELPA, the file ob-stan.el is empty
(length 0). This has been the situation for a while (see [1]), but
cloning from the master git repo [2] was a workaround, with the
expectation that this would eventually be fixed. However, the ELPA
version 20160502 has the same problem.

The message you linked to didn't include the response from Nicolas
(because it was in a later archive period, I think).  Here it is:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-02/msg00054.html

  or

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/104733

org-plus-contrib is generated from maint (the branch from which 8.3.*
releases are being cut), and ob-stan.el was only introduced in the
current master branch (what will be Org 9.0).

However, I'm not sure why an empty ob-stan.el is included in the ELPA
release, rather than there being no file at all.
