That's a rather horrible way of doing it. It goes completely against the spec. If you're just doing it on your own books, go right ahead. But please don't upload non-conforming epubs to the forum's e-book section (I'm not saying you have done so previously).
There's a very good chance that such epubs will break on other devices. The whole point of the manifest section of the OPF is that one can parse it and get a list of
all the files in the publication and not have to go through the entire directory tree.
