I don't think the waste is very significant. Butm I agree that package.el
could simply look for a define-package call in every .el file. And it could
simply report an error if there are 2 or more such calls.

I think tht supporting several "packages" inside a single tarball will
complicate matters significantly. OTOH, some packages include other
packages for the user's (in)convenience, e.g. ProofGeneral includes a copy
of X-Symbol in its tarball, so package.el somehow do something intelligent
in such cases. Maybe it can recognize that it's in a dubdirectory of its
own and move it out or something like that.
