No, that means they're throwing it in the network repository, not on the CD.
Their online repository has three different versions of the GNU ADA compiler,
a glibc 2.0 support package for the berkeley database, and two different
versions of "hello world" that each take 500k to install. (Really. Package
names "hello" and "hello-debhelper".)
Having stuff in the network repository just means somebody somewhere got it to
compile. (I suppose the Gnome guys care about ".NET binding for the D-BUS
interprocess message system", but that's because Miguel is crazy...)

I care about a lot of things I don't use. Not using is not the same as not
caring. But the spec for this is broken.
