In this specific case, no; but in the general case, it is really for the 
user to decide.

You can use the Osmosis "tagtransform" rules to create the kind of data 
consistency you want. Lots of things are possible here but only on the 
data consumer side - e.g. if you know you want to render all tracktype=1 
tracks like service roads and all other tracks as one simple kind of 
track, you can consolidate the data accordingly *before* it enters 
osm2pgsql, and dropping the tracktype column from your database.

It is not something we normally do.
