Of course not. But its apparently not so silly as to be self-evident, if silly at all; someone likes and I assume uses these packages. A better solution, IMO, is to reduce the size of the Packages file by splitting information out of it; this has already been proposed. It'd be a lot of work. Another solution would be a Packages file with only the top n packages from popularity contest, but that's generally called CD 1 ;-)
