Publishing: Published datasets should contain files

[sbarbosadataverse]

The existing publishing model in HDV allows the publishing of datasets without files. This lends to the curation team contacting depositors about uploading files via support and often to deleting "empty" datasets.

To decrease the support contact and dataset deletions, change the publishing model to require all deposits contain at least one file before publishing can happen.

I can fairly easily address this as another spam filter rule. So, an author would not be able to publish a dataset without files, but it would also result in an automatically opened RT ticket (just like with spam; although I could make it send a different email with a different subject).
But I'm realizing now that this may not be what you had in mind when you requested this (?).

No ticket, maybe a message reading, "All deposits must contain data before publishing is allowed." @landreev
This is even better with "data" in it.
