This is a relict from old times when then recent TeX-distributions
like teTeX were bundled with not up-to-date versions of pdftex.def.
I added it to keep all those mail from me asking why this and
that didn't work, e.g. multi-page pdf inclusion. 

Since a few years pdfpages has support for XeTeX, too, so you need a 
recent xetex.def of course. Anyway, all recent TeX-distribution
nowadays have up-to-date pdftex.def and xetex.def files. Thus
this remark is unnecessary today. I haven't heard of any problems
with old pdftex.def or xetex.def files recently.

I just had a look: Pdfpages requires a pdftex.def from 2000/09/14
at least. That shouldn't be a problem nowadays. And I do not
even check the date of xetex.def.
