Comment 10 for bug 268447

I think Jeffrey put it well. If this package is installed by default, then every user logging into any stock Ubuntu server will see the advertisement. I think the fact that is it text makes it more problematic, since other kind of commercial advertisements tend to be in web applications, and blend in better (gallery2 and rt3 come to mind). Additionally, only the admin can take action with that link, so it's not really useful for other users to even see it.
