No - normally you can take a set of points that are lying on the floor say - 
and tell the tracker that these all live on one plane, this then enables the 
tracker to resolve based on this information.
Plus makes it easier t understand the point cloud.

Aligning the camera is, if I understand you correctly, a way of getting the 
floor to be back on the floor plane of the scene, so the world is a sensible 
way up.

Its a useful tool, odd that hasn't been requested before.
