"""Generate ``fixtures/xlsx/package-thumbnail-dropped.xlsx``.
Sibling of ``gen_package_thumbnail_dropped.py`` (docx) but for
python-xlsx. python-xlsx builds workbooks programmatically without
a binary template, so ``docProps/thumbnail.jpeg`` is trivially
absent — this fixture proves the absence and guards against a
regression where the library might later start shipping a template
thumbnail.
