lpadmin was designed to be pointed at the right PPD and not to search for PPDs.
Since a printer model can have multiple drivers and therefore PPDs you need to
specify the exact PPD anyhow.
In your assumption a user also needs to know the exact syntax
<make>-<model_type>-<driver>.ppd, furthermore this syntax only applies to
foomatic PPDs.
I don't believe this qualifies as a bug, I will leave this issue open for a
while in case somebody would agree with you and confirms the issue.

ppds aren't in the place where lpadmin expects them.
