Yes of course; if a publisher/calibre/whomever puts a <br /><br /> at the end of every line to create double spacing, instead of using proper CSS for that, then it'd be quite hard, maybe even impossible, to make the spacing smaller. Kobo could remove or ignore all <br /><br /> occurences and apply their own CSS in firmware for example. However, that would remove the double break at places where they are needed too.
(OK, you don't "need" them per se, as you can always use CSS, but not everybody marks up its eBooks as correctly as should be, and Calibre is not really good in creating clean code. It works very well, but it's not very clean.)
