I notice the Debian's emacs comes with e.g.,
/usr/lib/emacs/28.2/native-lisp/28.2-66fa0d00/preloaded/elisp-mode-90dbfe40-c7c8
already installed, So no extra version needs to be made (involuntarily,
with no way to turn off apparently, by the user.)
So the answer is: Debian should come with all the .eln files, not just
some of them.
Or they could be split into a second optional debian package.
Then there wouldn't be the one useful version, and also left over
versions, for each file, left on the users' disks:
# find .emacs.d/eln-cache/*/url-his* |xargs ls -ogt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 39464 08-03 02:05
.emacs.d/eln-cache/28.2-66fa0d00/url-history-a9b2f6e8-bfe8d526.eln
-rwxr-xr-x 1 39472 05-27 08:02

Also users needn't wonder why their computer's fan is running,
and look and find
