I'd like to see an answer for this question as well; I share DD's bafflement at the request. A page-map file is technically not part of the EPUB spec, but as a practical matter, it's a useful extension that the Adobe rendering engine actively uses.

It's also worth noting that this type of page reference can also take the form of an NCX pageList element; rather than eradicating the page-map file entirely, my inclination would be to use it to create a pageList section - either in addition to or instead of the page-map.
