Debian always recompiles separately all the .el files in third party
packages (installed vi Debian) for all the installed Emacsen.
IOW if you have `emacs24`, `xemacs`, and `emacs25` installed, you'll
have 3 sets of .elc files for every ELisp package installed via Debian's
package manager.

So the `.eln` files aren't really more specific than the `.elc` in
that setting (except for the situation where you have `emacs-lucid` and
`emacs-gtk` and `emacs-nox` installed where these (unnecessarily)
require different `.eln` files but will share the same `elc` files).
