I agree that it's unnecessary and I generally do not install it, but I also think that many people expect it. Here is a list of packages that reference it: gdm esound nfs-utils rpcbind stunnel openssh sane lprng cups openldap exim sendmail mysql vsftpd It is a very old program. The date I see is 1997. On the other hand, I don't think it is any effort to just leave it in the book.
