That file is a courtesy file to help things like EPR know what to remove for you. The file is setup as:

<packageid> <patchtechnology>

A missing <patchtechnology> field indicates apt-1 which is the old out-dated technology. These are not safe to leave installed for an OTA update. If you have any of those installed, it is recommended that you remove them and reinstall the aupt version. There should be no mechanism to install old apt-1 style patches being used any more.
