Well, it *is* to ugly of a hack, but here it is:

(defun my-org-remove-empty-daily-clock-report ()
  "Remove empty daily clock reports"
  (interactive)
  (while (re-search-forward "^Daily report:.*$" nil t)
    (let ((beg0 (match-beginning 0))
	  (beg1 (1+ (match-end 0)))
	  (end (save-excursion 
		 (re-search-forward "^$\\|^#\\+END.*" nil t)
		 (match-beginning 0))))
      (when (re-search-forward "Total time.*0:00" end t)
	(delete-region beg0 end)
	(delete-char -1)))))

It will definitely not make its way thru Org, we need a mechanism that
prevents the display of empty report instead.

That makes sense...
