Yes, the packages *does* have it, but it does not get added to the load-path. This neglect is true of most packages--the only exception i have seen is html-helper. I could bug each package maintainer individually to ensure that /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/foo be added to the load-path, but imho that should be in the debian policty in the first place, as any emacser would agree, i think. PS: I don't quite know/understand how debian works, so i don't quite know if the 'policy' thing i said makes too much sense :)
