Agree, but some developers have a stronger opinion, and do not merge templates.ll files at build time in order not to waste autobuilders CPU time, or for other similar very good reasons. I also asked Joey Hess for such a requirement http://kitenet.net/auto/pipermail/config/2002-February/000259.html but he did not want to forbid mixed templates files in source packages, don't know if he changed his mind.
