Bug Description
There is no easy way to install all Elementary components that are included in eOS in other distros; in addition, currently there's no way to push post-release package set fixes (see bug #750534 or #748249 for example). It will also make ebuild script easier to maintain.
Having cascading metapackages (e.g. elementary-desktop depending on elementary-apps and elementary-look) will make the system even more flexible and easier to maintain.

This has been talked about for a while. I definitely don't think it's a good idea to encourage the installation of eOS onto another distro, but I completely agree with the other reasons you have outlined.
