Hmm, we will be ordering one soon, I will have to see if it comes packaged this way. The only one I have ever replaced was on our (now long dead/gone) dodge caravan, and it did not come with, nor require, such a procedure. I didn't do it to our 300D/and two SD's either when re-doing the brake lines. (But did not re-do the master cylinder.
