This seems fine. As far as I know, there's no way to specify which 
pages to number, and which pages not to number.  pdfpages simply 
inserts the pages in the order of the include commands, so you can't 
put one include to specify the numbered pages and then another one to 
specify the unnumbered pages, since they would then end up in the 
wrong order.

With respect to Schremmer's suggestion, you can include {} as a page 
specification to pdfinclude to insert a blank page also.
