There's a separation between packages and outputs. gnunet-svn is a
different package than gnunet, git-sendemail and git-svn are contained
in outputs of git (named 'sendemail' and 'svn'). They are not separated
like for example Debian does it with their -dev version packages.
For the exact reasons someone else has to explain. I guess it's
something about grafting, reproducibility, source provision etc.
