Speaking for our Katello users, I don't know that its required for us to
do, but might be nice to have. I think we might want to have the option
to preserve or not, as alphabetically organized repositories are nice to
have even when the upstream repository isn't laid out in such a way.
I do seem to remember in the past some desire around kickstarts to
preserve the structure, but i do not remember the details around it.
