Magento2: Must override at least one static content file or custom theme static content won't deploy
Steps to reproduce
- I created a custom theme with Magento/blank as parent, to override a template.
- I did not override any static content. (nothing in the theme's web folder).
- I ran bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
Expected result
The static content requests would fall back to load from the Magento/blank theme.
Actual result
All of the static content links in pub/static/theme 404'd.
Workaround
I added a logo file to theme/web/images and reran setup:static-content:deploy. This time all the files were generated in pub/static.

This is still an issue in 2.1. Without an image in theme/web/image it ignores the theme.

Still an issue in 2.0.9. I had to create an empty test.js file in app/design/adminhtml/[Package]/[Theme]/web for the theme to deploy

When creating a new custom theme, if we don't have any assets files under web folder, your theme may be ignored when executing deploy command.

Issue still exists.
I've had to create a dummy static file (dummy.js) so the child theme wouldn't be ignored by setup:static-content:deploy command

It will be released with 2.2.0 unless someone will create a backport for 2.1.x.
