Even if you write software in which you control everything, you should still write an individual piece of code in a way that it works well, even when the input is not sanitized (at the class level). But here you talk about a system with spread out, independent components. Of course it is perfectly possible that there is a broken package with an empty vender info.
I totally understand that this is a really minor problem. The worst thing that may happen is that HaikuDepot displays a strange, lonly "(C)". But from a general "good coding practices" perspective, you should just always write code defensively.
