A question on indistinguishabilty definition



Hi! Could somebody give a comment on the following question?

Does it make any sense to require for a deterministic encryption scheme
to provide indistinguishability for two sets, each consisting of unique
plaintexts (the sets themselves can intersect)? By such scheme I
understand a scheme that reveals nothing but a distribution of
plaintexts (unlike one-time-pad that, for example, can reveals
exclusive-or of two plaintexts).
