To be clear, I do not consider this to be a lack of flexibility, but a
sensible design choice (this is not to say that your feature request is
invalid, only that it is definitely a feature request, not a bug).

It is very useful to know that binary packages named elpa-* have a
certain structure and contain only Emacs lisp and perhaps some
documentation, just as it is useful to know that libghc-foo-dev is a
Haskell library, libghc-foo-doc is the Haddock documentation for that
library, etc.
