this is actually unnecessary, since the first boot would've created the file anyway (when it doesn't exist).

Im guessing it should only be handled if chrooting into the (pre)install then ?

The problem is that the core package/filesystem contains the file, so it won't be created on the first boot. And it's better to be explicit here I think.
