No, if the pages exist and other pages tend to treat them as
interesting (i.e. interesting pages link to those pages), Google is
working as advertised if it indexes and reports them.

The problem is the treatment of this information by Launchpad, i.e.
creating pages that have no prospect of being useful, yet linking to
them (I presume, from the discussion here) as though they're
important.
