Yes, but that might not require to keep a dummy package and might not be stored in the RPM DB.
and why? save 15 bytes?
It does not belong to the package DB as it is no longer a package.
And it will screw up stuff like dependencies etc. and make everything slower.
But the repository metadata could have an extra file with no-longer-present packages, which would only be consulted if e.g. "zypper search" finds out that the package is not available. It could even be used to point to alternate repositories etc...
