We provide stuff in /etc/emacs that does a lot of things, and that's not considered deviating from documented behaviour. This is more about providing a sensible default configuration that does what I'm sure any user would expect in a windowing system. If I can cut and paste between, say, oowriter and KWrite, why should Emacs be different?
Upstream may well have good reasons for keeping the current behaviour. For example they may not want to introduce behaviour that is dependent on a specific platform or windowing system. Debian has different goals, that include making the desktop a better integrated total experience. Perhaps this customization would fit better in some X11 package that could drop a config file in /etc/emacs?
