As their name suggests, those scripts are not intended to be used in a
Debian system. They are included as the whole contrib directory is
included. 

This script specifically has also been removed from upstream as it is
pointless even there. (in trunk, targeted for 1.6.3, which may or may 
not make it into Squeeze).

So if it really bothers anybody, we can just actively remove that
script. I think that in this case it is not worth the extra bother.
