Whether it's a good idea or not is immaterial. If I want to include a pre-existing piece of work in a distribution, which has already been released as public domain, then I would prefer to acknowledge that part of the whole is released that way. I already have distributions that are lacking, because I don't want to release a package that has mixed licenses, as I can't state that clearly in all parts of the distribution.
