Thanks, meanwhile I found out, that if I add the following lines to
the Makefile
DATA_1_FILES = .nosearch
DATA_1_DEST = $(PACKAGE)/var

 Then indeed a new subdirectory var of etc is created, with a dummy
file .nosearch.


However nor

#DATA_1_FILES = .nosearch
DATA_1_DEST = $(PACKAGE)/var

Nor

DATA_1_FILES = 
DATA_1_DEST = $(PACKAGE)/var

Works in the sense that an *empty* directory is generated. I can live
with this dummy file, but I find the solution not very elegant to say
the least.
