I assume it is a matter of not wanting to manually maintain $pkg.install
files.
Here is an except from d/rules for darktable.
PLUGIN_EXCLUDES=$(patsubst %,-X%, \
$(notdir $(shell cat $(wildcard debian/darktable-plugins-*.install))))
override_dh_install:
dh_install -pdarktable $(PLUGIN_EXCLUDES)
dh_install --remaining-packages
The top level directory /usr/lib/darktable is listed in
darktable.install, but any files under that installed in other packages
will be excluded.
As usual with such "cleverness", one can question the tradeoff of
fragility versus ease of maintenance.
