They are not separated
like for example Debian does it with their -dev version packages.
For the exact reasons someone else has to explain. I guess it's
something about grafting, reproducibility, source provision etc.
This is what the docs say about this;
Sometimes it is more appropriate to separate the various
types of files
produced from a single source package into separate outputs. For
instance, the GLib C library (used by GTK+ and related packages)
installs more than 20 MiB of reference documentation as HTML
pages.
To save space for users who do not need it, the
documentation goes to a
separate output, called @code{doc}. [...]
Some packages install programs with different
``dependency footprints''.
[…] This allows users
who do not need the GUIs to save space. […]
For me this sound more like a bug. But maybe someone can explain
this.
