You are correct as of Calibre 0.7.53 calibre removes the Adobe page template margins during conversion.

If the page-template controls the margins, and they often do, then a conversion epub - epub or epub - other will need to occur to remove the margins via calibre.

Quite a few folks in
this thread seem to remove the file and all references to it and are happy with the results. If I had the option to just remove the file I would do it. I have already proofed the files in calibre's viewer which seems to ignore this file.
As of April 1 Calibre handles removing the margins from the page-template during conversion. So identifying the older books that have this page-template is my minimum need. Once identified I'll have no problem running them through a ePub to ePub conversion and let calibre deal with it. But I would not be against having the option to remove the file and any references to the file.
