In general I agree with you, but for a distro the issue generally comes
down to dependencies.

In Fedora, for example, we split the virus scanning portion out to a
separate package, because otherwise cyrus-imapd ends up with a
dependency on clamav.  We want to avoid that because not everyone wants
to maintain a clamav installation so we put the cyr_virusscan binary and
its manpage in a separate subpackage.
