Which part of the "emacs+magit" package is the "binary package"? The
only part of that which could produce *.eln files at installation time
is Magit, right? Because Emacs itself already comes with all the
preloaded *.eln files, and those aren't what we are talking about,
right?
And if we are talking about Magit in this example, then how come its
being bundled to Emacs change anything of what I said?

Please forgive me, but you cannot expect us to regard such situations
seriously as long as you don't describe them.
