They are not ignored, because scenarios always load all packets - scenarios use the same code path as savegames, so the dropping of unneeded packets isn't done there. I found it easier to just remove the packets than to create an extra condition in the C++ code. Less potential for new bugs ;)

No idea, the ones I removed are all empty except for a packet version number anyway. The actual campaign objectives are defined by scripting - maybe this packet is used in savegames?

I have no idea what goes in the extra_data packet either - the ones I removed only contain a packet version and nothing else. The background image for the loading screen is defined in the elemental packet, all other images (campaign messages) are loaded by the richtext code in the Lua scripts.
