I fail to understand the benefit of the split (as in “what real life
problem is this supposed to solve?”).

Please note that some projects (including ownCloud, packaged on Debian)
allow the web administrator to switch (temporarily) in debug mode,
where, among other things, the non-minified JavaScript are used instead
of the usual minified ones. Splitting (and conflicting) minified and
non-minified JavaScript packages may be painful in some (real life) use
case.

David
