A little late but I had the same question but wanted to include an empty directory.

I found this MSDN blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevelopertips/archive/2010/04/29/tip-105-did-you-know-how-to-include-empty-directory-when-package-a-web-application.aspx

By design, Visual Studio 2010 will skip the empty directory when packaging web application project using web deploy. To get empty directory packaged and deployed, we can work around this by adding an empty stub file inside the directory to make it non-empty. Then web deploy will package and deploy the directory with the stub file.
