Why do you think so? A user who installs emacs-gtk and a user who installs emacs-nox will need different *.eln files. So Debian will end up with a separate subdirectory for each configuration they produce and for each Emacs version. That's a lot of files and directories, and high risk that many of them will never be used. Also, a lot of problematic management of those directories. like the decision when to delete them etc. It is much easier to leave that to users.
