Nope. Do you know why yours doesn't? :)
It's part of normal-top-level in startup.el.
(It's not the kind of thing that should be changed for Emacs 24.1 at
this stage.)

points out that there still has to be _some_ search at startup, for
people with their own input methods, and suggests just not searching
certain "obviously wrong" load-path dirs (lisp/progmodes, etc). That
does not preclude dumping the standard leim/leim-list.el though.

Oh, I thought this seemed familiar:
