From a repositoriy maintainer's point of view: Yes, if people really want it, then please something in a DESCRIPTION file. Lookup whether a file exists takes a lot of time, in particular if you do not have the source package in an extracted form. Note that CRAN does not have to handle one or two packages, but processes 600 for each repository...
