What is your point?
There's no need to generate fake page numbers for epubs being rendered by ADE-based reading apps (Kobo, Sony, Nook???, some Android) as ADE does it automatically on the reading device. No user intervention required, even when there is no publisher-inserted page-map.

I must admit I find the ADE page numbers quite useful because they are exactly the same on my Kobo einks and Android devices. I swap between them frequently and it's easy to find my place. In the absence of a Whispersync-like facility, it does the trick fairly well.

I also like to have the exact same page count available in calibre (via Count Pages plugin) for quick and dirty assessment of short/medium/long books.
