I don't think we have a de-facto standard on that file in 
debian-science, at least I removed it from my packages a long time ago 
already and I agree with Christopher that routine-update should do the 
same. There is no benefit in having a file with the same content in 
every repo and every Debian package if we can avoid it.

Cheers Jochen
