No. By default the Bundle is Compressed='yes'. If you want all your
packages to not be contained in the Bundle change that to
Bundle/@Compressed='no'. You can now go back and mark individual
XxxPackages Compressed='yes'. Or you can do it the other way around and
leave the Bundle compressed but mark individual packages Compressed='no'.

RemotePayload element is used for one case: "Describes a information about
a remote file payload that is not available at the time of building the
bundle." We struggled with the name of that thing. Never got completely
happy with it.
